Although the deadline to add players has now passed, players in England can still leave for clubs abroad up until the end of the month, and thus we have more Chelsea FC loaning out news for you today. We learned yesterday that midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko would be one of those on the move, heading to AC Milan on a season long loan.
On Monday he completed his medical with the Serie A club, and heads over for a fee of €5 million. On Tuesday, the deal was formally announced by both clubs.
Good luck at AC Milan, @TimoeB08! ?https://t.co/uGQE8Kz5Jh

Bakayoko has scored three goals in 43 appearances for the club, and overall he’s been a bust since he made a £40 million switch from Monaco in the summer of 2017.
The Frenchman is just one year into his five year Chelsea deal, so there is obviously still plenty of time for him to develop with Chelsea and make Stamford Bridge’s investment in him pay dividends.
Here is the intro video that Milan posted just a couple of hours ago.
