Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing Presnel Kimpembe after adding the Paris Saint-Germain defender to their centre-back shortlist.

Chelsea have reportedly added Paris Saint-Germain defender Presnel Kimpembe to their centre-back shortlist.

With Antonio Rudiger's move to Real Madrid already confirmed, and Andreas Christensen set to depart at the conclusion of his contract this summer, Thomas Tuchel's side are looking to strengthen in the centre of defence.

The Blues have already been linked with Sevilla's Jules Kounde, while they have also been credited with showing an interest in Juventus defender Matthijs de Ligt.

As well as Kounde and De Ligt appearing on their shortlist of potential centre-back signings, Christian Falk reports that PSG's Kimpembe is also a target for Tuchel, while Gabriel Jesus is being looked at as a forward option.

Despite Chelsea's reported interest, it remains to be seen whether the French champions would be prepared to entertain offers for a player that has two years remaining on his current contract.

Since making his debut for PSG in 2014, Kimpembe has featured in 200 games, chipping in with three goals.
