Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is targeting PSG defender Presnel Kimpembe to replace contract rebel Toni Rudiger.

Rudiger's future has been the subject of speculation in recent months, with the German international's contract at Chelsea set to expire at the end of the season.

Therefore, with Rudiger potentially leaving in a matter of months, Chelsea could be starting to plan ahead, and it seems that Tuchel is already targeting someone he is familiar with to add to his squad.

The 48-year-old coach is eyeing a reunion with Kimpembe, who he worked with at PSG, as reported by L'Equipe.

The pair spent two years together in France, winning Ligue 1 twice and making the Champions League final in 2020.
