Tiemoue Bakayoko's agent says a permanent move to Napoli is a 'priority' for the Chelsea midfielder with the Frenchman 'very happy' at the Serie A side

Tiemoue Bakayoko's agent has said securing permanent move to Napoli at the end of the season is a 'priority' for the Chelsea midfielder.

Bakayoko joined the Serie A side on loan in October and has cemented his place in the first team with 18 appearances across all competitions.

The 26-year-old, who scored his first Napoli goal in a 2-1 victory over Udinese on Sunday, has not played for Chelsea since 2018 and is not part of Frank Lampard's plans.
