Paris Saint-Germain Complete £35 Million Transfer

Paris Saint-Germain have snapped up a midfielder ahead of transfer deadline day, and it's bad news for Chelsea.

Maurizio Sarri's hellbent on signing a new midfielder to replace Cesc Fabregas who left Stamford Bridge for AS Monaco, this month.

The Premier League club had been monitoring Zenit Saint Petersburg's Leandro Paredes ahead of a January move but they've missed out on his services.

That's because PSG have just completed the transfer of Leandro Paredes for a reported £35 million.

The Argentina international has penned a four-and-a-half year deal after completing a medical.

PSG's new recruit will wear the No.8 shirt.

"I'm very proud to be joining Paris Saint-Germain," Paredes said.

"After my previous experiences in Italy and Russia, I now have this fantastic opportunity, not only to discover a new league, but above all one to wear one the most prestigious club jerseys in the world."

He added: I'd like to thank the chairman and the coach for the confidence they have shown in me by signing me. We all know the extraordinary sporting dimension of Paris Saint-Germain, its players and staff.

"I share the same high ambitions and I will do everything I can to give my club what it expects of me as a midfielder. I also look forward to the passionate atmosphere of the Parc des Princes, as I grew up with football fever in Argentina."
