Kylian Mbappe has named Chelsea's N'Golo Kante has the player he most wants Paris Saint-Germain to sign.

Kante became the first outfield player to win back-to-back Premier League titles after leaving Leicester City for Stamford Bridge in 2016.

The France international went on to be named Player of the Year by both the PFA and FWA after his first season in west London and has again impressed despite Chelsea's failed title challenge.

PSG will be looking for a new manager this summer after Unai Emery failed to mount a serious Champions League tilt, and Mbappe feels Kante will have a key impact for whomever comes in.

"Kante, in terms of our needs and also the quality of the player," Mbappe said when asked by beIN Sports which player he would like to see join the club.

"I think he's a player who'd suit our team perfectly. He's French, and bringing a Frenchman back would be good as far as the attractiveness of our league is concerned.

"I think all the French love N'Golo Kante, and it would be a pleasure to see him again in our league."
