Tiémoué Bakayoko does not rule out the idea of playing for Ivory Coast. The Lorient midfielder played for France in a friendly match against Spain in March.

The 29-year-old admits that he was disappointed not to return to Chelsea. He says it is difficult to choose between France and Côte d'Ivoire, his country of origin, because of the number of quality players in France. The midfielder says he is not completely international, because he only has a selection.
