Sevilla ‘want Chelsea’s Bakayoko’

Sevilla are considering an approach for out-of-favour Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko, according to reports.

ABC de Sevilla say Los Rojiblancos are interested in the 23-year-old, who started 34 matches in central midfield for the Blues last season.

The Paris-born midfielder moved to Stamford Bridge last summer from Monaco in a reported €40m deal, and it appears the Andalusian club have identified him as a potential replacement for Steven N’Zonzi.

There is no indication that a bid has been lodged by Sevilla but it is thought the FA Cup holders would be willing to sanction an exit this summer at the right price.
