Chelsea midfielder Bakayoko admits he'd follow Leonardo to PSG

New PSG chief Leonardo is chasing Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko.

Leonardo signed the Frenchman last summer for AC Milan on a season-long loan and now wants to bring him to Paris.

Just a few days ago, Bakayoko told L'Equipe: "Yes, of course I would like to play in Paris, I cannot lie about it. That'd mean a lot for me and my loved ones. We are real Parisians.

"Leonardo took me to Milan, it is he who allowed me to return to my level today by trusting me. I have a lot of respect for him, and for the Milan club, for that matter. I'm glad he's going to Paris, it's my heart club, it's my city. I'm sure he'll do a good job."
