Midfielder Tiemoué Bakayoko looks like he is heading back to Chelsea at the end of the season.
The 24-year old, who flopped during his first season at Stamford Bridge has been on a season-long loan with AC Milan.
Initially he was criticised for his attitude by the Serie A club who threatened to terminate the agreement early. However, he had seemed to have turned things round, and had impressed the Milanese so much that they were seriously minded to exercise the option in his contract to sign him permanently at the end of the season, in a deal worth €35,000 (£32,000)
However, after he turned up more than an hour late for training all that has changed and now Milan have had another change in opinion. The Frenchman will be fined €90,000 (£85,000) by the club, and will return to Stamford Bridge when his loan spell at the San Siro finishes.
