Tiemoue Bakayoko earned his first cap for France in March 2017 for his astonishingly world-class performances for AS Monaco, but as soon as he took the giant stride to sign for Chelsea, the midfielder’s career took a detour.

The 24-year-old struggled to cope with the physicality, arduous and back-breaking nature of the league, often drawing criticism for his lack of concentration, lethargic approach on the pitch and poor finishing.

A loan move at AC Milan proved to be the escape route for the Frenchman, but since returning to the pre-season camp at Chelsea, a few of the midfielder’s flaws have again come under the scanner.

Despite being granted opportunities by Lampard, Bakayoko has failed to live up to expectations or make a case for himself. With some seven midfielders in the running for the three/four midfield spots in Lampard’s midfield system, it’s highly unlikely that Bakayoko will make the cut.
