Tiemoue Bakayoko has already been pushed down the Chelsea pecking order by the arrival of Jorginho and Sevilla are hoping to pick up the midfielder as a result of the Premier League side's wheeling and dealing.
The move is nonetheless somewhat less simple than it may initially seem, as the Blues' reported desire to sign Aaron Ramsey makes for the second point of a transfer triangle.
Daily Mail believe Chelsea have offered over 30 million euros to sign the Welshman with his Arsenal contract expiring at the end of the season.
While Unai Emery hopes to keep hold of Ramsey, the coach's interest in Steven N'Zonzi could facilitate a deal and complete the triangle.
Should Sevilla's 40m euro demands for the Frenchman be met, Arsenal may decide to let Ramsey move on to Chelsea, thus pushing Bakayoko out of the exit door and into Andalusian hands.
Such a tricky scenario will be tough to navigate and Los Nervionenses will remember how a similar play saw them miss out on Michy Batshuayi last season.
With the Belgian content to move to Sevilla, the deal was knocked off course by the carousel movement of Olivier Giroud to Chelsea, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Arsenal, and thus Batshuayi to Borussia Dortmund.

Chelsea should not sell the player but should let him go on loan which should be a season to two then his value will go further up that it when they should decide on his future they sell or keep him. Selling now would be a mistake,he is young and may improve like what the other youngsters we let go did.

Selling Bakayoko now after just one season could be a stupid move knowing it takes at least two seasons for a new epl signing to find his feet, get used to the physicality and the pace of the ball... etc etc Manutd ought to buy him and cash in on Bakayoko tender EPL experience which can only grow big and immensely benefit the club particularly after the horrors we witnessed last night where defenders were following the ball instead of marking the strikers Had they kept it simple they would have won one nil

so Chelsea has still not learn from their past experiences and mistakes by selling SALAH, de bruyne, lukaku, matics and many others by selling them after one season. they should not try it on bakayoko but for drinkwater can go due to his age advantage.

It has happened before, Aubameyang moving to Arsenal, Dortmund replacing him with Chelsea's Batshuayi, then Chelsea replacing him with Giroud of Arsenal. It can still happen again this time around

Ramsey will be phenomenal under Sarri and he has a lot of experience in the league and a fantastic work rate as well but I don’t see how Ramsey is better than Loftus Cheek.This is the best time for Cheek to break into the team after a good spell on loan at Palace and a good showing on the World Cup ,this is just the perfect time.If he goes on loan again and doesn’t do too well, then it would further delay his transition to the first team besides Cheek has already said he is only staying if he is getting playtime so we better not let him end up like Salah and co.Daug this Ramsey and keep Cheek who has a lot of years ahead of him to become better and is already class but need a coach like Sari to mature him
