Tiemoue Bakayoko and Michy Batshuayi Twitter exchange sends Chelsea fans into a frenzyDefault author imageMark Brus for Metro.co.ukThursday 13 Jul 2017 11:58 pm
Chelsea fans up late on Twitter tonight have been sent into something of a frenzy after an emoji-based exchange between Blues striker Michy Batshuayi and Monaco star Tiemoue Bakayoko.
The France midfielder has long been expected to complete a big-money move to Stamford Bridge this summer, but the deal has been held up due to a combination of fitness problems and rumours of interest from Manchester United.
However, progress looks to have been made over a deal in the last couple of days, with reports claiming Bakayoko was nearing a £40million transfer and set to undergo a medical.
Chelsea fans are growing impatient after a frustrating summer in the transfer market so far, and Batshuayi seemingly shares their frustration after tweeting Bakayoko for an update.
Communicating almost entirely in emojis, Batshuayi opened the dialogue with the ‘eyes’ emoji, with Bakayoko responding with a grin.
Batshuayi then wrote back with three emojis showing someone signing a piece of paper with a pen, followed by a question mark and an embarrassed face, to which Bakayoko responded with a face with its mouth zipped.
The pair then wished each other goodnight, with Bakayoko making an effort to send his message in English, perhaps following his travelling around with a phrase book suggesting he was preparing for a move to the UK.
Chelsea fans are unsurprisingly excited to see one of their players communicating with one of their top targets, suggesting an announcement may be imminent.

Mark Brus for Metro.co.ukThursday 13 Jul 2017 10:50 pm
Chelsea and Liverpool look to be in direct competition for the £65million transfer of Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, according to reports.
The Gabon international scored 40 goals last season to attract interest from a number of top clubs this summer, and has most recently been strongly linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.
However, it now looks as though they could face competition from Liverpool, who have also reportedly made contact with Dortmund over signing the 28-year-old.
It could even be that the Reds are surprisingly in pole position to land Aubameyang due to their connections with Dortmund through manager Jurgen Klopp.
The German tactician spent seven years in charge of Dortmund and signed Aubameyang from Saint-Etienne in 2013, though his best form has arguably come under his successor Thomas Tuchel.
Still, The Sun claim Liverpool have been sounding out Dortmund over a move for their top scorer since April, and may be ahead of Chelsea in the running due to Antonio Conte’s struggles in this summer’s transfer market.
The Blues boss is facing a fight to land a number of his top targets, having already missed out on Romelu Lukaku to Manchester United, and needs to resolve Diego Costa’s future before a replacement can be brought in.
The Spain international is widely expected to move back to former club Atletico Madrid, but the deal seems to be dragging on, possibly due to some desire from the player himself to get revenge on Conte for the manner in which he told him he would be leaving.
Meanwhile, Chelsea also look set to miss out on Real Madrid front-man Alvaro Morata, meaning Aubameyang may be their best hope of bringing in real quality up front this summer.

JULY 14, 2017
Reported Chelsea and Manchester City transfer target Leonardo Bonucci is said to be closing in on a shock move from Juventus to rivals AC Milan.
Speculation surrounding Bonucci increased dramatically on Wednesday, with multiple Italian outlets reporting he was on the verge of a move to the Italian fashion capital. Per Calciomercato (h/t Metro's Coral Barry), the defender has already agreed to personal terms, and his agent Alessandro Lucci told Sportitalia (via Barry) negotiations regarding the exit have begun.
The report adds the shock deal would be worth £35 million, a relatively low return for one of the world's best defenders and a player who signed a new contract just last season. BeIN Sports' Matteo Bonetti was as shocked as just about every other reporter:
Matteo Bonetti ✔ @TheCalcioGuy
If Juve were to sell Bonucci to Milan, it'd be one of the most bizarre transfers in world football recently. Talk about a pendulum swing
9:00 PM - 13 Jul 2017
The 30-year-old previously played for Inter Milan, where he enjoyed part of his youth career and his professional start, so he would be spurning the fans of two different clubs by joining the Rossoneri.
According to the report, Bonucci has no interest in leaving Italy, ruling out Chelsea and City and explaining why Milan might be able to land him for such a relatively small fee.
Juventus fans were none too happy when they found out, and neither was Bleacher Report's Adam Digby:
It's certainly one of the oddest rumours of the summer window, and with the agent weighing in on the matter, Bonucci could well be a Milan player before the end of the week. Juventus have tons of young talent ready to step up, but losing the Italy international would still be a huge blow.
Chelsea have already addressed their defensive concerns by signing Antonio Rudiger, but manager Antonio Conte will perhaps be a little disappointed at the timing and the fact he couldn't bring Bonucci to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea are ready to make a big-money bid to sign Andrea Belotti from Torino, according to reports in Italy.
Italian newspaper La Stampa, as quoted by Metro, is claiming that Antonio Conte has told Chelsea chiefs to make a move to try and bring the 23-year-old Belotti to Stamford Bridge this summer.
It is a move that could prove expensive for the Blues, because the striker is thought to have a release clause of around £88m in his current contract with the Serie A side.
However, the same report claims that Chelsea are ready to make a bid close to that amount as Conte looks to bring in attacking reinforcements this summer.
It is also claimed that Torino are trying to seal a deal for a replacement for Belotti by closing in on the signing of Duvan Zapata from Napoli.
Chelsea have been forced to look elsewhere for a new striker this summer after the Blues missed out on the chance to sign Romelu Lukaku, who ended up joining Manchester United this week.
The Blues are looking to bolster their attacking options this summer as Conte prepares for his second season in charge at the west London club.

CHELSEA firstly want to see off Juventus in the race for Real Madrid ace Danilo, before going back in for Old Lady star Alex Sandro.
Antonio Conte has struck a deal with the European champions for right-back Danilo, 25.

And, according to The Mirror, the club are set to tear out another page of their chequebook with the capture of the £31million man before they head out to the Far East.
Conte has already missed out on signing Romelu Lukaku, who has headed to Manchester United in a £75m deal from Everton.
And the Italian wants to add Tiemoue Bakayoko to his ranks, with the Monaco midfielder’s transfer being held up by recent knee surgery.
But Conte also wants former Porto left-back Alex Sandro to join Chelsea, with the club unable to agree a fee with Juventus over the flying left-back.
Even though Sandro, 26, is keen on joining Stamford Bridge, Juve will be wary that they have just lost an attacking full-back in Dani Alves to PSG.
Sandro is valued by the Serie A winners at £70m, which would be a world record for a defender.

CHARLY MUSONDA has been awarded a shirt number within Antonio Conte’s squad, despite rumours linking him with Celtic.
The youngster will wear Eden Hazard’s old No 17 shirt next season, which suggests his position at Stamford Bridge is permanent.
The youngster returned to Stamford Bridge from his loan spell from Real Betis in January.
The Belgian has been training with the Chelsea first team this week.
Following an impressive year-long loan spell with Real Betis, the Belgian starlet has attracted interest from a number of clubs.
Celtic were reportedly lining up a £5million deal for the 20-year-old, but Conte’s decision to hand him a shirt number might just quash these rumours.
The Premier League have given permission for the Belgian youngster to use ‘Musonda Jr’ on his shirt this season to avoid any confusion with his father.
Musonda has recently returned to west London to train with the Chelsea first-team at Cobham.
Last term’s Premier League champions kick-off their pre-season on July, 22 against Arsenal.
The attacking midfielder oozes confidence both on and off the field, previously labelling himself to become a legend in his career.
Antonio Conte will be looking to promote the youngster into first team football next term.
Musonda said, “I was a late starter in my career.
“For example Eden Hazard was already in the first team when he was 16 and I was nowhere near that.
“I feel I have learned a lot at Chelsea and I am ready for any league in the world. I have never regretted signing for Chelsea,” he adds.
The Belgian U20 international was a product of the Anderlecht academy, before joining the Premier League giants in 2012 along with his two older brothers.
In early 2016, Musonda joined La Liga side Real Betis on a loan deal until the end of the season.
After only managing one start in eight appearances under the management of Gus Poyet during the deal, the Belgian returned to Stamford Bridge.
