PSG midfielder Blaise Matuidi has emerged as a target for Chelsea.

The Sun says he is being targeted by Chelsea boss Antonio Conte in a £43million swoop.

The Blues chief will face competition from a host of top European clubs for the French international.

Matuidi, 29, who scored seven goals last season, did not play in last Saturday's Trophee des Champions final as Paris SG thrashed rivals Lyon 4-1.

But chairman Al Khelaifi said this week they “haven't talked about Matuidi's departure".

He added: “The transfer window is finished for me. Matuidi is a pillar of the team and is under contract.

We have a good relationship.

“We are very happy of the recruitment and I think the Jese is our last signing of this transfer window, We are a good team."
