Speaking about his switch to the Premier League champions, Bakayoko told the club's official website: "I am very happy to be here and to join this great team.

"I have grown up watching Chelsea. Signing was the natural thing for me because it is a club I loved very much in my childhood. I am now looking forward to evolving under this fantastic coach and alongside so many great team-mates."

Ruben Loftus-Cheek previously wore the No.14 shirt for the Blues, although Bakayoko has now taken the number following the England Under-21 midfielder's loan move to Crystal Palace.

France international Bakayoko becomes Chelsea's third signing of the summer, with Antonio Rudiger and Willy Caballero having also arrived in the transfer window.
