AC Milan Add Ammo In Midfield, Borrow Bakayoko From Chelsea

JAKARTA - AC Milan have signed midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko from Chelsea on a two-year loan with the option of making the move permanent, the Italian club announced on Monday.

The 27-year-old Frenchman joined Chelsea in 2017 but he failed to establish himself as a regular. He spent most of his time on loan including at Milan during the 2018-19 season when he made 42 appearances across all competitions.

Bakayoko spent the last two seasons on loan for Monaco and Napoli.

"AC Milan is pleased to announce the signing of (Bakayoko) from Chelsea FC on a two-year loan, which can turn into a liability if certain conditions are met," the Serie A club said in a statement.

Milan, who beat Cagliari 4-1 on Sunday, have won both of their league games so far and sit fourth in Serie A.
