French giants Paris Saint Germain have made Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante their main transfer target for the summer, according to a report on Sports Illustrated.
The defensive midfielder has won the Premier League twice so far in his short career in English football and is being watched closely by Ligue 1 side PSG.
The French club sees Kante as an ideal replacement for veteran Thiago Motta, who is nearing the end of his career with the club.
Kante took English football by storm when joining Leicester City in 2015 and has since won the PFA Players Player of the Year.
The Frenchman has become one of the finest midfielders in world football and was even voted into the eighth position in the Ballon d’Or.
Chelsea will do everything they can to keep hold of the Frenchman but with the Blues enduring a difficult spell at the moment, the lure of PSG could be too much to refuse for Kante.
Chelsea are at risk of not winning a single trophy this season as they face Barcelona in the last-16 of the UEFA Champions League, whilst dropping points in the league has seen them fall 15 points behind leaders Manchester City.
On the other hand, PSG look like a dominant force in all competitions as they are running away with the Ligue 1, but face a stern test in the UEFA Champions League as they face current holders Real Madrid.
Blues boss Antonio Conte has been linked with a move to Paris also and may take his star man along with him in the summer.
