 However, PSG aren't discouraged say the Metro. The newspaper claim Thomas Tuchel's side are prepared to offer Kante, 27, over £300,000-a-week to join the Parisian outfit

Gonzalo Higuain to AC Milan AC Milan and Juventus are set to complete an audacious three-player transfer deal that includes Gonzalo Higuain, reports claim

 Chelsea have been heavily linked with the Argentine international, but it looks like Maurizio Sarri will have to look elsewhere for reinforcements

 Goal claim Higuain will join AC Milan on a season-log loan with Leonardo Bonucci and Mattia Caldara swapping clubs

 Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival has seen Higuain forced out, and AC Milan are paying an initial £16million with the option to make the deal permanent for an additional £32m

Ross Barkley upbeat Ross Barkley says he feels "better than ever" after recovering from a long-term injury and is relishing the freedom to influence all areas of the pitch under new manager Maurizio Sarri

 The England international missed a majority of last season with a hamstring injury and made just four appearances for Chelsea across all competitions since moving to the London outfit from Everton in January

 "I arrived here with a long-term injury," Barkley said. "I didn't play many games because of that

from the time that I joined in January, I have got my body feeling better than ever before

" Barkley started the club's pre-season matches against Perth Glory and Inter Milan and is relishing Sarri's playing philosophy

 "The new manager obviously has a different style. There will be freedom because you have three men in the midfield," he added

"You can go forward, get close to the box, have shots, try to create but obviously we have to be disciplined and organised without the ball

" Aaron Ramsey to Chelsea Aaron Ramsey joining Chelsea would make perfect sense for the Blues - but Arsenal must not let it happen, claims former West Ham goalkeeper Shaka Hislop

 Ramsey has entered the final year of his contract at Arsenal. Negotiations are continuing but there is no clue the Welshman is close to putting pen to paper on a new deal

 Arsenal may be keen to offload Ramsey if he does not re-sign to prevent them losing him for free next summer

 Chelsea have been linked with the 28-year-old but Hislop says the Gunners must not allow that move to happen

 "It makes a lot of sense, yes, but it also makes a lot of sense to stay at Arsenal," he told ESPN FC

"Arsenal with a new manager of their own in Unai Emery. "I'm just not sure that, despite the changes, you want to let go somebody who has been as important to Arsenal over the years as Aaron Ramsey

No. It makes sense for Chelsea, makes no sense for Arsenal."

Liverpool transfer news: Can Reds now defy Man Utd and City? Pundit prediction - Duration: 2:12.

 Liverpool have spent over £170million on new signings this summer, including the arrival of Naby Keita who agreed to join last year

 The Reds have splashed out the most expensive fee ever for a goalkeeper, following the record fee for a defender they paid in January for Virgil van Dijk

 They are the second favourites with the bookies to win the Premier League title this season, an opinion Hislop echoes

 The former West Ham goalkeeper claims current Liverpool players would now not want to leave for fellow clubs in England

 But he says it may be an issue if the likes of Real Madrid or Barcelona come in for one of their stars

 "It depends on who that offer comes from," Hislop said. "I think that Liverpool are now in a position that if that offer was to come from another Premier League club, regardless if it was Manchester United or Manchester City or somebody who can really stump up the cash to turn heads in the Liverpool boardroom, I think they can turn that down

 "I think players feel that this is a club now positioned to challenge at the highest levels of the Premier League

 "If that bid were to come in, there would be no real reason to leave for pastures new

 "I still feel that if that club was a Real Madrid or Barcelona, never mind the finances turning heads in the boardroom, just as a player and given the status and stature of those Spanish clubs, how would you say no? "I still think that peaks an interest as a player

" Barcelona signed Philippe Coutinho from Liverpool in January for a staggering £146m
