Paris Saint Germain ace Stephane Sessegnon claims Chelsea are one of a number of Premier League clubs chasing his signature.

The 25-year-old has caught the eye at PSG and his performances have alerted a host of sides across Europe.

Chelsea are reported to have been tracking the the Benin international for some time and new Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti is thought to be weighing up a move for the midfield playmaker.

Manchester City and Everton have also been credited with an interest in Sessegnon, but the player insists he is happy to remain at PSG and is currently in talks over a new deal to extend his stay in the French capital.

"It is true I have contacts with clubs interested in me, but PSG is my club," Sessegnon said.

"I have a contract until 2012 and I am in talks with them.

"Chelsea contacted my agent, but Chelsea is not the only club after me there are other Premier League clubs as well."
