Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has been encouraged in his interest in PSG defender Presnel Kimpembe.

The France international attracted interest from his former PSG coach last summer and remains on Tuchel's radar as he seeks to boost his defensive options.

And encouraging for Tuchel is that Kimpembe has not heard from PSG management about a new contract.

While he has a deal to 2024, Kimpembe is unhappy with the terms he's on, particularly as he sees teammates handed new pay-hikes.

As such, the defender is open to listening to rival offers, knowing Chelsea and Tuchel remain keen, says L'Equipe.
