Blues free to wrap up late transfer deal after Tuchel told target ‘likely to leave’ PSG this deadline day
According to latest reports, French football expect Jonathan Johnson has opened up and told Chelsea that Layvin Kurzawa is all set to leave PSG this month
It is no secret in the media that Thomas Tuchel has had a number of issues with injuries to some key players, meaning that he has to delve into this transfer kitty and sign a new defender or two
And Tuchel wants another option at left-back to compete with Marcos Alonso and it looks like Kurzawa is likely to be it, with the Frenchman out of contention at PSG.
The 29-year-old has played 153 games for PSG since joining from Monaco in 2015 but has fallen down the pecking order and has not made a single Ligue 1 appearances this season under Mauricio Pochettino.
It has been suggested that he could stay until at least the end of the season, but French Football expert Johnson has opened up and told the likes of Chelsea that Kurzawa is most likely to leave this transfer window.
He was quoted on Sky Sports: “Layvin Kurzawa has attracted interested from a number of Premier League clubs over the course of the month.
“However, PSG are looking to get rid of at least one member of the senior squad before the window shuts.
“Pochettino admitted that at least one member of the senior squad would miss out on the Champions League squad, should the number of players available to him remain the same.
“Kurzawa looks to be the most realistic to leave.
