Chelsea 'in talks' with PSG star striker that would light up the Premier League

Premier League winners Chelsea have held preliminary talks with Paris Saint-Germain and striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic over a potential move to London.

Chelsea have been linked with a host of strikers already this summer including the likes of Douglas Costa, Radamel Falcao and Gonzalo Higuain, after club legend Didier Drogba confirmed he'll be leaving the Stamford Bridge club for a second time, leaving Mourinho short in the striker department.

Reports from Italian site Calcio Mercato Web (translation required) say that the west London club have had meetings with the Swedish internationals representatives in Berlin and have spoke about the possibility of a transfer to the Premier League and League Cup champions.

Rivals Arsenal and Liverpool have also been linked with a move for the 33-year-old but Ibrahimovic is looking for a deal worth £7million-a-year, an amount the Gunners and Reds would be unwilling to go to.

Zlatan is thought to currently be earning a massive £11million-a-year at French side PSG but is willing to take a pay cut to join Jose Mourinho at Chelsea.
