Chelsea v Manchester United - The Emirates FA Cup Final — The World Cup winner is reportedly on PSG's radar

France won the 2018 FIFA World Cup in style, maintaining a decent level of performance from the beginning of the tournament till the end. Special credit for that would have to go to Chelsea superstar N'Golo Kante who ran riot in the middle of the park, producing scintillating displays and guiding his nation towards glory.

The 27-year-old's performances have reportedly earned him a lot of interest from Paris Saint-Germain, who intend to add him to their star-studded squad ahead of the upcoming campaign. The Parisians are desperately aiming for the UEFA Champions League trophy and they believe the Chelsea ace would improve their chances in Europe's top competition.

According to the reports, a deal worth £100 million is being prepared by the Ligue 1 champions. If Kante ends up joining Thomas Tuchel's side this summer, the midfielder would link up with some of his international teammates including the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Presnel Kimbempe and Adrien Rabiot for the upcoming campaign.
