Lampard Tells This Player To Leave Stamford Bridge

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has reportedly told midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko that his services are no longer needed at the club.

This is according to the Daily Mail which revealed that the Frenchman is almost certain to leave Chelsea this summer.

Frank Lampard is expected to name 17 oversee players and Tiemoue Bakayoko is not expected to make the list.

French Ligue 1 giants AS Monaco are pondering over a loan move for the Chelsea midfielder.
