Tiemoué Bakayoko

Tiémoué Bakayoko is one of those players who genuinely had the world at his feet and then somehow didn't quite grab it. After a stunning 2016–17 season with Monaco — where he was a driving force in that thrilling Champions League run and a Ligue 1 title — Chelsea paid big money for him and the expectations were enormous. But he never really clicked in the Premier League, and what followed was a carousel of loan moves: Milan, Napoli, back to Milan, back to Chelsea, around and around. At his best he's physically imposing, hard to run past, and capable of breaking up attacks with real authority. The frustrating thing is you can still see flashes of that quality. He's the kind of guy who makes you want to root for him to finally put it all together.
