Chelsea midfielder N’Golo Kante has emerged as a primary summer target for Paris Saint-Germain, according to L’Equipe.

The French publication are reporting that the Ligue 1 champions are keen to find a long-term successor to Thiago Motta who left the club in May.

Kante is believed to be Thomas Tuchel’s key candidate for the role – with the French international attracted to the option of being back in his homeland.

The 27-year-old beat Kylian Mbappe to win the French Player of the Year award earlier this year.

He made 46 appearances in all competitions for the West London side last term.
