The Premier League have confirmed Chelsea’s retained list and also released as many as 13 players, including midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko.
The midfielder joined the Blues from Monaco back in 2017 and featured frequently under Antonio Conte,
clocking up 43 appearances and playing the whole of the 2018 FA Cup final win over Manchester United. He scored three goals during that campaign.

Bakayoko, now 28 years of age, has spent the past seasons on loan at several different clubs, representing former club Monaco and Napoli either side of two stints with AC Milan.
Across those five seasons, Bakayoko has made 130 outings in all competitions, yet his performances during those periods never made a playing return to Chelsea remotely likely.
