Paris Saint-Germain defender Presnel Kimpembe has been linked with a move to Chelsea this summer, and new PSG manager Christophe Galtier.

One factor which could persuade the World Cup winner to West London would be the pursuit of Jules Kounde, with his fellow French international also linked to the club. The centre-back has two years remaining on his contract in Paris, meaning that now would be the perfect time for a sale to take place. He told L'Equipe: "I've read everything been said about Kimpembe. We even laughed about it together.

In an interview with L'Equipe, Paris Saint-Germain manager Christophe Galtier addressed the rumors linking a PSG defender to Chelsea.

Furthermore, PSG is in the mix trying to land Inter Milan’s central defender Milan Škriniar, who would bring competition for minutes. He is a great defender, a leader,” Galtier said. He is direct in the human relationship.

New PSG coach Christophe Galtier has conceded that he is not sure what will happen with Chelsea target Presnel Kimpembe.

“He is a great defender, a leader and in the system, he can be very efficient.” The PSG boss likes the player and believes he is going to be an efficient defender in his system. However, he admitted that he does not know whether Kimpembe is going to stay or go in the ongoing window.

Koulibaly has signed, though the collapse of a second deal has upped the stakes for a Kimpembe move.

Paris Saint-Germain boss Christophe Galtier says he has been joking with Presnel Kimpembe about Chelsea's rumoured transfer interest.

For that we need signings of new quality players or otherwise there’s no chance.’ So we have things to improve. ‘We come from sanctions, we come from losing top-quality players, key players, we are a club in transition, in transition of ownership, we were behind in the transfer race and we were behind in the table.
