The French midfielder is currently out on loan with Italian giants AC Milan.
On loan Chelsea midfielder Tiémoué Bakayoko was recently pulled over by the cops while driving around in Italy as seen in the video. The French midfielder was stopped at gunpoint by police in Italy in a terrifying trial that at the end turned out to be a case of mistaken identity.
The midfielder's career has fallen off the rails in recent seasons. He signed for Chelsea in the summer of 2017 for a reported fee of £40m. He did make 43 appearances across all competitions in his first season with the Blues. But he really failed to make an impression at Stamford Bridge. He was loaned to AC Milan and then returned to his former club AS Monaco. A loan to Italian side Napoli followed afterwards.
But the 27-year-old has not been able to find his form and feet again. Last summer he re-joined AC Milan on a two-year loan deal. Bakayoko did win lift the Serie A title last term. But he made just 14 appearances in the league and failed to record any goal or assist returns. He has also earned one cap for the French national team.
If rumours are to be believed, his loan can be cut short and he could return to Chelsea this summer. AC Milan have no intention to make the move permanent. But the recent incident involving the cops tops everything that has gone wrong in Bakayoko's career in the recent seasons.
