French champions Monaco have made their fourth signing of the close season with the capture of 23-year-old midfielder Soualiho Meite from Belgian side Zulte Waregem.

The Paris-born former Lille player has agreed a five-year contract for a fee reported to be in the region of eight million euros ($9m).

His arrival is expected to be in anticipation of Monaco selling French international Tiemoue Bakayoko, who has been tipped to join English champions Chelsea.

Bakayoko’s midfield partner, the Brazilian Fabinho, has also been linked with a transfer away from the Stade Louis II.
