Tiemoue Bakayoko could be forced into Chelsea return as AC Milan threaten to cancel loan – reports
Milan manager Gennaro Gattuso described unfixable 'defects' in the French midfielder's game
Chelsea flop Tiemoue Bakayoko is on the verge of an embarrassing early return to Stamford Bridge as AC Milan threaten to call time on his loan deal.
The French midfielder, 24, joined the Italian giants on a season-long loan in the summer after Blues boss Maurizio Sarri decided he was surplus to requirements.
And according to Corriere dello Sport, Milan aren't impressed with him either.
The Italian publication report that Bakayoko, who has made just four substitute appearances this season, has only six games to prove his worth to the Serie A club.
Bakayoko signed for Chelsea from Monaco for £40m in the summer of 2017 but endured a terrible first season in English football.
And Milan boss Gennaro Gattuso recently suggested the Frenchman lacks maturity, referring to certain 'defects' in his game.
"Bakayoko has to learn how to get the ball," Gattuso said.
"We must work correctly. It will not be easy.
"One week is not enough to remove the defects of a player. I would have preferred to be managing older, more experienced club players."
