Chelsea-owned Bakayoko hints at Monaco stay

Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko has hinted that his playing days at Stamford Bridge are over while leaping to the defence of his current manager, Monaco's Leonardo Jardim.

The 25-year-old. who joined the Blues in 2017, has only spent one full season at the club since his arrival from the Monegasque outfit, after failing to figure in either Maurizio Sarri or Frank Lampard's plans.

Under the former Italian boss, he spent the 2018-19 campaign with Milan, missing out on his parent club's Europa League success, while under the Englishman, he has returned to his former club, with whom he previously won the Ligue 1 title before his departure.
