Thiago Silva is working on PSG defender Presnel Kimpembe about a move to Chelsea.

Kimpembe is a target for the Blues as they seek to replace departing defensive pair Toni Rudiger and Andreas Christensen.

At Chelsea, Kimpembe would find former PSG coach Thomas Tuchel and also his former captain Thiago Silva.

L'Equipe says Thiago Silva knows Chelsea are keen on Kimpembe and has been doing his part in trying to convince the stopper about a move to London.

The Brazilian has been in regular contact with Kimpembe via text message, urging him to make the move to England.
