Chelsea 'in talks over loan deal for PSG left back Layvin Kurzawa' as Thomas Tuchel seeks to bolster his defensive options with Ben Chilwell out for the rest of the season

Chelsea have opened talks with Paris St Germain over a loan deal for defender Layvin Kurzawa, according to reports in France.

Thomas Tuchel is keen to reunite with the 29-year-old left back after Ben Chilwell suffered a long-term knee injury and Lyon rebuffed their attempts to recall Emerson Palmieri from his season-long loan.

Kurzawa has played 153 games for PSG since joining from Monaco in 2015 but has fallen out of favour and has not made one Ligue 1 appearance this season under Mauricio Pochettino.
