Paris Saint-Germain are interested in signing England striker Eniola Aluko from Chelsea Ladies and talks are ongoing, The Independent understands.

The 30-year-old, who has over 100 international caps, has scored five goals in 10 appearances this season and has five months left on her contract at Chelsea.

Given her limited starts under manager Emma Hayes, Aluko is considering a fresh start abroad.

Last year the forward accused England women's coach Mark Sampson of bullying and racism.

The Welshman was cleared by an initial report in March, but further evidence led to his departure from the role and a parliamentary inquiry into the FA's handling of the matter.

Aluko was paid £80,000 to keep quiet over the incident but hasn't been called up to the England team since May 2016, despite being fifth in the Lionesses' all-time goalscoring charts.
