PSG want Willian as emergency replacement for injured Neymar (Sky)

Paris Saint-Germain are planning to make a late Deadline Day bid for Chelsea winger Willian, according to Sky sources.

The Ligue 1 champions are chasing a replacement for Neymar, after it was confirmed on Wednesday that the forward would be out for three months with a metatarsal injury and will miss both legs of their Champions League last-16 meeting with Manchester United.

Willian, who was a second-half substitute during Chelsea's 4-0 defeat at Bournemouth on Wednesday, has also been of interest to Barcelona this month, as well as being linked with a move to China.

The 30-year-old has 18 months left remaining on his current contract, but the club remain adamant he is not for sale as they battle for a top-four finish in the Premier League.

Chelsea are also determined to keep hold of young winger Callum Hudson-Odoi and have turned down a transfer request from the 18-year-old, amid rejected bids from Bayern Munich.
