Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko is a step away from returning to AS Monaco.

Soccer Link reports the France international has agreed to move to ASM on a season-long loan.

Bakayoko left Monaco two years ago, but has struggled to establish himself with the Londoners.

He spent last season on-loan with AC Milan.

Bakayoko played for the Monegasques from 2014 to 2017.
