Chelsea interested in PSG defender Presnel Kimpembe

Chelsea are interested in PSG defender Presnel Kimpembe.

Thomas Tuchel and Chelsea's scouting team have made reinforcements at centre-half a priority for when new owners take over at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues expect to lose Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen this summer - and there's the possibility that Cesar Azpilicueta also departs the club via the exit door.

Without new signings, those departures would leave the Londoners short in central defence, and having to rely on a 38-year-old Thiago Silva.

Goal says Kimpembe is under consideration by the Blues.

Kimpembe has spent his entire career at PSG, but would be tempted by the challenge of the Premier League should his former boss come calling.
