The 21-year-old came through the academy system at Angers before making 32 appearances for the club’s senior side in France.

Bahoya has continued to develop since relocating to Germany, recording eight goal involvements across all competitions in his most recent campaign. He also created 32 chances and recorded an impressive 59.4% successful dribble…

Chelsea have entered into talks over a deal to sign Italian fullback Marco Palestra from Atalanta this summer, according to journalist Nicolo Schira. The 20-year-old has established himself as one of the most exciting young fullbacks in Serie A and across European football following a remarkable breakthrough campaign last season.
