The Monaco ace is widely expected to move to Stamford Bridge in a move that will see Nemanja Matic leave for Manchester United in a £40m switch.
Antonio Conte has made it his priority to sufficiently strengthen his squad, and has earmarked signing a holding midfielder.
Bakayoko caught the eye with his stirring displays that helped Monaco win the Ligue 1 title and reach the semi-finals of the Champions League last term.
With a £35m move to Stamford Bridge seemingly imminent, Bakayoko wants to make sure he looks the part too.

The France international, who has already had a medical with the Blues, went on a shopping spree in France.
He visited the west London outfit’s two biggest fashion backers - Nike and Dior, trying on a range of outfits and suits and shared the videos on his Instagram page.
Chelsea have agreed a huge kit deal with Nike, and details surrounding Bakayoko’s move can not be announced until tomorrow at the earliest.
Bakayoko could be part of a £95m double deal, with Conte hoping to splurge around £240m this window.

Former Blues midfielder Craig Burley thinks Bakayoko will be the perfect signing for the Blues if he joins.
“We go back to all the attributes, he's young, he's physical,” he said.
"He's aggressive in the challenge, he gets around the field, he's tidy on the ball, he's got energy to burn.
“That's what your modern midfielder in the Premier League has to have or is better to have and he's got that in abundance.”
