The 24-year-old made a slow start to life in Italy, though, as he struggled to adapt to his new surroundings in Serie A.That led to reports surfacing that Bakayoko could be sent back to Chelsea in January with six months to run on his loan.However, more recently the midfielder has begun to find his feet and he has impressed over the past few weeks.2

Bakayoko struggled in his debut season with the Blues

And now, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, Milan have shelved plans to end Bakayokos loan in January.The clubs coaching staff have been won over by the former Monaco man and plan to keep him until at least the summer.Milan will then decide whether to make a permanent move for Bakayoko, who is attracting interest from clubs in France too.
