World Cup winner Kylian Mbappe has revealed his efforts to convince France teammate N’Golo Kante to join Paris St Germain.

The Chelsea midfielder, who was instrumental in Les Blues World Cup win, has been linked with a move to the French champions after two years in west London.

Mbappe, 19, has previously spoken about Kante being the one player he would want to see join him in the French capital.

The former Monaco forward, who won Young Player of the Tournament at the World Cup, revealed he has spoken to the PSG president as well as Kante about a move.

"It is true that the president consulted me. My response was that N'Golo would do our team some good," Mbappe said.

"I spoke with N'Golo during the World Cup. I was careful to not overdo it, though, as transfers can flood your mind.

"In the end, I just put a few words in his pocket, which I am sure he must have discovered once he got home, to get the message across."
