Chelsea midfielder Bakayoko: Gattuso presence convinced me about Napoli

Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko is delighted with his loan move to Napoli.

Bakayoko worked with coach Rino Gattuso also at AC Milan.

“I'm very happy to be here, the team has welcomed me in an amazing way," Bakayoko said at a press conference. “I'm very happy with my teammates, I'm happy with my new home here.

“Gattuso convinced me and I'm very happy to join a great team. I also want to thank Gattuso for letting me come here.

He continued: “We will obviously fight to be up there. It's not time to talk about the Scudetto, our target is to take one game at a time and try to fight for three points.

“I really want to play, since I haven't been on the pitch for several months. I'm giving it my all, on Saturday I would like to be on the pitch, but it depends on the coach.

Atalanta are a team that play very well and are quick."
