Chelsea have taken big strides towards completing the signing of Presnel Kimpembe, with Thomas Tuchel reportedly set to welcome 'one of two' primary defensive targets this week. The 26-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge this summer amid an increasingly uncertain future at Paris Saint-Germain.
According to The Times, the France international has held talks with the Blues ahead of a potential move to west London. Kimpembe was set to meet with PSG's newly-appointed sporting director Luis Campo to discuss his future in the capital following another imperious campaign.
The Frenchman, who sees his contract at Les Parc des Princes expire in June 2024, featured 41 times for the French giants this season, steering the club towards another Ligue 1 title. Kimpembe's impressive displays helped Mauricio Pochettino sustain the best defensive record in the league, though his efforts weren't enough to navigate PSG into the latter stages of the Champions League.
