No Chelsea return for Bakayoko – agent

Tiemoue Bakayoko’s agent Federico Pastorello has insisted there is no prospect of the midfielder returning to Chelsea in January.

Bakayoko has failed to impress since joining AC Milan on a season-long loan from the Blues.

That has prompted speculation in the Italian press that he could be sent back to Chelsea early.

But Pastorello told Calciomercato.com: “Bakayoko is happy in Milan and Milan are happy with him.

“It was known he would need a bit of time, but everyone is convinced he can contribute a lot to their season.

“All this talk about a return to Chelsea in January is completely unfounded.”
