Monaco drop major Benoit Badiashile transfer hint as Chelsea edge closer to £33m deal

Monaco have dropped a huge hint over Benoit Badiashile's future as Chelsea continue to negotiate a transfer for the French defender. The Blues have already completed one signing as the January transfer window officially opens with David Datro Fofana set to complete a move to Stamford Bridge from Molde.

Kalidou Koulibaly, Wesley Fofana and Marc Cucurella were all signed for more than £100million combined in the summer. Todd Boehly spent close to £300million in his first transfer window after completing a £4.25billion takeover at Stamford Bridge, with the Blues signing eight new players in total.

Graham Potter has since inherited Thomas Tuchel's squad after replacing the German as Chelsea boss in September. Potter will be hoping to add players that fit his style of play and ideas at Chelsea, and Badiashile could be the first senior player to be a part of that.
