The Monaco midfielder is believed to have already had his medical with the Blues and needs to sort just a few details before putting pen to paper on a £35million deal.

Bakayoko, 22, has already shown fans videos of himself shopping at Chelsea sponsors Nike and Dior.

And now he has ‘liked’ tweets suggesting his departure from Monaco is a done deal.

One, from Monaco fan FalcaoJr98, described Bakayoko as being the pillar of the Ligue 1 champions’ team.

But the user also said they were “disgusted” he was leaving to join the Premier League.

Another tweet from the same person likened Bakayoko to former Monaco star Geoffrey Kondogbia.

The France midfielder spent two years at Monaco before moving to Inter Milan in 2015 for around £27m.

And Bakayoko again ‘liked’ this tweet, which said he, like Kondogbia, was “huge” for the team and that he will be missed when he joins Chelsea.

Bakayoko is one of a number of players linked to the Premier League winners.

There has been talk of a £125m triple-swoop for him, Roma star Antonio Rudiger and Juventus defender Alex Sandro.

And it appears business on some of those could be done sooner rather than later.

Rudiger was believed to be at Chelsea yesterday completing his medical ahead of his £30m move.
