KALOU WANTS CHELSEA TO BEAT UNITED IN APPOINTING PSG FOOTBALL DIRECTOR

According to the Mirror, Chelsea are ahead of rivals Manchester United in the race to sign Paris Saint-Germain football advisor Luis Campos.

He played an average of 3,077 minutes per season for Chelsea in the Premier League in his first three seasons at the club, making 105 league appearances by the end of the 2018/19 season.
