Chelsea star Tiemoue Bakayoko vows to dye his hair BLUE when £40million summer signing scores first goal for new club

Midfielder has impressed since joining the Premier League champions from Monaco and is raring to get off the mark

The fun-loving midfielder said: “As soon as I score a goal I will change the colour of my hair. Possibly to blue. I like changing the colour of my hair from time to time.

“I don’t go completely over the top, but sometimes I find it brings me good luck. Since the Man City game I put some white in my hair.”

Bakayoko claims Chelsea is his dream club after joining the League champions in the summer.

He said: “I’ve always dreamed about playing for certain clubs. Chelsea is one of those.

“Last season I looked out for them, watching and seeing how best I could play with them.

“I really thought they were the team in which I could express myself.

“The chance to work with Antonio Conte was one of the biggest reasons for coming.

"He’s a coach who has always believed in me and followed my progress from his days at Juve. So it’s natural that I would get the chance to play under him.”
