Chelsea fans want Tiemoue Bakayoko out of Stamford Bridge this summer.

The Frenchman arrived at the club last summer as a £40 million signing from AS Monaco following a promising season in France in which he helped Les Monégasques lift the Ligue 1 title.

However the 23-year-old endured a poor first season with the Blues, with his disappointing performances in the middle of the park attracting criticism from fans and pundits alike.

And such condemnation has continued in pre-season with Bakayoko again failing to impress.

The midfielder was a second-half substitute in Chelsea’s 1-1 draw with Inter Milan on Saturday, and made his presence felt immediately by giving the ball away within moments of coming on, allowing Roberto Gagliardini to slot home and cancel out Pedro’s opener at the Allianz Riviera.

Bakayoko looked wildly out out of place in manager Maurizio Sarri’s high-tempo style of play (known affectionately as Sarri-Ball) – the Frenchman visibly struggling to keep up with midfield partners Jorginho and Cesc Fabregas.

AS Monaco are reportedly keen to bring Bakayoko back to France this summer, while Sevilla are also said to be interested in the struggling Frenchman.

The Chelsea fans have got their fingers crossed …

In just 12 minutes, Bakayoko has given the ball away for fun and his error directly led to Inter's goal.

It may just be preseason, but it's like we've said time and time again: players just don't magically improve. Bakayoko is a clear example. Simply not good enough for Chelsea.

Jorginho has played 100 minutes in a Chelsea shirt against Perth and Inter without misplacing a single pass.

Bakayoko after being on the pitch for 58 seconds, gave the ball away and Inter Milan equalised from it.
