Former Monaco star, Tiemoue Bakayoko has told Chelsea manager, Maurizio Sarri that he wants to leave the Stamford Bridge this summer.
Bakayako signed from Monaco for £40 million last summer but has struggled to make an impact.
Spanish sports outlet, Estadio Deportivo reports that Sevilla have stepped up their pursuit for the France international.
Sevilla are looking to replace Steven N’Zonzi before the transfer window closes.
Sevilla have already held talks with Bakayoko’s representatives and the midfielder has told Sevilla that he wants to join them.
The player has also informed Sarri that he wants to leave to boost his chances of getting more playing time, according to the newspaper.
Bakayoko faces increased competition for his position, following Chelsea’s decision to sign Jorginho from Napoli.
