Todd Boehly could grant Thomas Tuchel the perfect replacement for Antonio Rudiger this summer, with Chelsea plotting a move for Presnel Kimpembe. The 26-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge as he enters the final two-years of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain.
Kimpembe, who is valued at around £34million by CIES Football Observatory, featured 41 times for the French giants last season, steering the club towards another Ligue 1 title. The France international'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.
Nonetheless, Kimpembe has courted the attention of the Blues and a reunion with former boss Tuchel seems well on the cards. football.london understand that Chelsea are expected to table a formal offer for the centre-back at some point this week.
