Bakayoko joined Chelsea in a £40million deal over the summer from Monaco.

The midfielder has already settled in quickly and grabbed a goal in the Blues’ 6-0 rout of Qarabag in their opening Champions League game last Tuesday.

And according to The Sun, Bakayoko’s former youth club Montrouge, where he spent two years, will pocket a small windfall from the deal.

However, instead of getting their hands on the cash, Montrouge instead will be handed two minibuses.

Confirming the terms of the arrangement, Montrouge’s head of youth development Mathieu Laporte, told The Sun: “We’re so pleased because we desperately needed a couple more minibuses to help transport all our various teams.

“Although we are a part-time team in the seventh tier, our youth system is one of the best in the country and our youth teams compete at national level.

“We have produced players like Demba Ba and Bakayoko – and we want to produce more.

“Having a couple of extra mini-buses will help us enormously because we usually rely heavily on parents and the local council.”
