Presnel Kimpembe’s transfer preference revealed as Thomas Tuchel has Chelsea back-three plan

Paris Saint-Germain defender Presnel Kimpembe reportedly prefers a move to 'England' and Chelsea FC, in particular, over Juventus as new owner Todd Boehly makes direct contact with his agent to conclude a deal.

Boehly has been a busy interim sporting director upon his arrival to the club this summer and his hard work and labour has finally paid its dividends as Raheem Sterling was announced on late Thursday afternoon, UK time, as the first men's team recruit of a new era, with his initial £45million deal having been agreed some time ago between the two clubs.

Sterling was thrown straight into the action as he was involved heavily in his first Chelsea training session before signing autographs with the fans and then heading to the LA Dodgers Stadium for a tour of the facilities. Kalidou Koulibaly is the next player likely to be signed, with a £34m deal seemingly agreed between Chelsea and Napoli. He was spotted in London on Thursday to undergo his medical ahead of an imminent announcement.
