£40m flop Tiemoue Bakayoko could reportedly be handed a fresh start in the Premier League with Marco Silva’s Toffees.
It would be unfair to boil Tiemoue Bakayoko’s entire career down to that disappointing 2017/18 season at Chelsea.
The rangy midfielder is a France international who shone alongside Bernardo Silva and Kylian Mbappe in that thrilling Monaco team who wrestled the Ligue 1 title away from PSG two years ago, after all. And, after a slow start, Bakayoko’s performances on loan at AC Milan last season were very impressive indeed.
Fortunately, Everton fans seem to be giving their potential Idrissa Gana Gueye replacement the benefit of the doubt.
As reported by the Mail, The Toffees could offer the £40 million enforcer a fresh start in the Premier League with Chelsea expected to cash in despite his superb displays in the red and black of the Rossoneri.
The less forgiving members of the Chelsea support will be counting down the days until Bakayoko’s departure. He looked clumsy, error-prone and far too keen on a needless foul during his time at Stamford Bridge.
But better players than Bakayoko have shone in the Premier League after struggling initially on English shores. Remember Didier Drogba, Mo Salah and Michael Essien, Chelsea fans?
Bakayoko needs a new lease of life and Everton could provide him with exactly that.
