Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante tops PSG’s transfer list as replacement for Thiago Motta

PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN have reportedly made Chelsea star N’Golo Kante their top transfer target for this summer.

Telefoot claims the oil-rich giants have drawn up a list of midfielders to replace veteran anchorman Thiago Motta.

And while there are plenty around who could do a job, Kante is apparently seen as the leading candidate.

The 26-year-old has been a revelation following his £30million move from Leicester 18 months ago.

Kante became the first-ever player to win two successive Premier League titles with different teams last season.

And he continues to add even more to his game under the watchful eye of adoring boss Antonio Conte.

However, there are question marks surrounding the Italian tactician’s future in west London.

And with Conte the man who convinced Kante to snub interest from a number of top teams in 2016, there’s a chance he may become unsettled if a new manager is ushered in.

Conte has actually been tipped to take charge at PSG this summer after becoming disillusioned with Chelsea’s transfer business.

And he knows that the Blues will ultimately sell any of their biggest names as long as the price is right.
