Napoli are new favourites to sign Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko.

The France international had been linked with a return to AC Milan but Sky Sport Italia says an agreement has now been struck for him to move to Napoli.

The midfielder is also said to be enthusiastic about the transfer to the Stadio San Paolo, having already played one season in Serie A at Milan, who wanted an option to buy rather than an obligation for £23million (€25m) if the player was to return to San Siro.

Napoli however appear content to accept a dry loan – without an option to buy – that will reunite Bakayoko with his former coach Gennaro Gattuso.
