Chelsea defender Kalidou Koulibaly has paid tribute to former manager Thomas Tuchel.
Koulibaly has revealed Tuchel was keen on him at PSG.
In an interview with Bein Sport, the 31-year-old central defender said: I had the chance to play against him.
"There was a Napoli-PSG when he was in Paris. And we had two draws. After the match, we spoke and he congratulated me. He told me I was a great player. Subsequently, he tried to recruit me to PSG.
"It didn't happen, but at Chelsea it did. He was really enthusiastic and I too was happy to work with him. It's a shame it didn't last very long. But he was very important in my arrival at Chelsea and I have to thank him."
