Thiago Silva has handed Chelsea a major boost in the race to sign Presnel Kimpembe, with Thomas Tuchel eager to prise the Paris Saint-Germain defender to Stamford Bridge this summer. The 27-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to west London amid the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen.
Kimpembe, who sees his contract at Les Parc des Princes expire in June 2024, is set to meet with PSG's newly-appointed sporting director Luis Campo in the comings weeks to discuss his future. The France international featured 41 times for the French giants this season, steering the club towards another Ligue 1 title.
The centre-back's impressive displays helped Mauricio Pochettino sustain the best defensive record in the league, though his efforts weren't enough to navigate PSG through the Champions League round-of-16. Despite this, he's reportedly courted Chelsea's interest, with a switch to west London on the cards.
