Newcastle, Watford in contact with Chelsea midfielder Bakayoko

Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko could yet be playing in the Premier League next season.

The France international spent the last Ligue 1 season on-loan with AS Monaco, which was cancelled last month by the Macron goverment.

Chelsea have encouraged Bakayoko to find himself a new club and his minders have been in contact with PSG and AC Milan.

However, Le 10 Sport says the midfielder isn't short of offers from England.

Watford and Newcastle United's incoming owners have also made contact with Bakayoko's representatives to register their interest.

Chelsea are hoping to raise £30m from Bakayoko's sale this summer.
