Newcastle eyeing Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko

Newcastle United are eyeing Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko.

Currently on-loan with AC Milan, Bakayoko is expected to be sent back to Chelsea after a controversial past month. The midfielder has clashed with coach Rino Gattuso and also invited controversy after his antics following victory over Lazio.

Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez is a fan of Bakayoko and should he sign new terms, he is expected to move for the France international.

The France international can leave Chelsea this summer for £30m, an option which the Rossonero are set to pass on.
