PSG set to launch shock move for Premier League star as sporting director spotted in England

Paris Saint-Germain are set to launch a surprise move to sign a Premier League defender, it has been reported, days on from winning the Champions League.

Luis Enrique's side thrashed Inter Milan 5-0 in the final in Munich to win their first-ever Champions League trophy on Saturday.

Goals from Achraf Hakimi, Senny Mayulu and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, as well as a brace from Desire Doue either side of half-time, secured a dominant victory.

PSG have already been linked with adding to their squad this summer and continuing their significant spending from last year - while staying true to their new youth-focused policy.

A shock move for Barcelona star Gavi has been rumoured, but the 21-year-old midfielder has ruled out a departure from Barcelona.

He told reporters on Tuesday: "It's not going to happen. I'm very calm. My dream and my mentality is to spend my entire career at Barca. It's the club of my life and where I want to succeed."

Now, according to RMC Sport's Fabrice Hawkins, PSG have moved their focus elsewhere.

It is claimed that sporting director Luis Campos has been on the south coast of England this week as he looks to complete his first signing of the summer.

His destination is said to be Bournemouth, with Campos attempting to broker a deal to sign Ukrainian centre-back Illya Zabarnyi.

The highly-rated 22-year-old has missed just three Premier League games in the past two seasons under Andoni Iraola and has emerged as one of the side's key players.

Zabarnyi, who has also been linked with Arsenal, signed a five-year contract extension last year to keep him at Dean Court until 2029.

And the Ukrainian formed a strong defensive partnership with Dean Huijsen as Bournemouth recorded a ninth-placed finish in the Premier League.

However, it is Huijsen's sale to Real Madrid which may convince Bournemouth to keep hold of one of their prized assets.

Left-back Milos Kerkez is being linked with a move to Liverpool, and an entire rebuild of their defence will surely be something that will not appeal to Iraola and the Cherries ownership.

But Hawkins claims that Zabarnyi is 'attracted' by a move to PSG and has already agreed to join them after Campos arrived in England on Monday.

Another unnamed Premier League player is also being targeted by the new Champions League winners as they look to get their summer window off to the perfect start.
