Mbappe is in the final year of his contract at PSG and is yet to sign an extension with the Ligue 1 champions.

According to Four Four Two (via Sportskeeda), Chelsea have emerged as leading candidates to sign the Frenchman should he leave Paris at the end of the season.

Real Madrid had been widely expected to sign Mbappe but Spanish publication Cadena SER revealed this week that Los Blancos ended their pursuit.

The coast now seems to be clear for Mauricio Pochettino's men to make a move but it will not be easy as clubs like Barcelona, Manchester City, and Liverpool will be eagerly watching proceedings in Paris.

Mbappe has scored 12 goals in 14 appearances across all competitions for PSG this season.
