Chelsea defender Toni Rudiger has popped up on the radar of PSG chief Leonardo.

Having lost skipper Thiago Silva to Chelsea over the summer, Leonardo is seeking a replacement - and Rudiger is on his shortlist, says Le Parisien.

The Germany international has been pushed to the sidelines following Thiago Silva's arrival and has stated he's prepared to leave next month.

The sticking point will be the form of the transfer, with Leonardo favouring an initial loan.

Chelsea, however, would prefer an outright sale and have several tentative offers already on the table from Italy for Rudiger.
