French journalist Julien Quelen says Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko could make his official debut for the club at the end of the week against Arsenal.
The former Monaco is still nursing a knee injury but Quelen wrote on Twitter that his long-awaited debut could be against the Gunners.
The 22-year-old signed a five-year contract with Chelsea to become one of the new players to join Antonio Conte's squad.
"I am very happy to be here," he said after signing with the champions.
"For me this is the biggest English club, and I hope to achieve great things here. I am very proud.
"Chelsea is a great club with a great history, and they are the champions of England. My wish was to be at the best English club there is today.
"I am very happy and proud for me, my family and the people who have been following me for a very long time. Now the work starts for all of us together to progress."
