PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN are nothing to fear for Chelsea, according to the club's former winger Pat Nevin.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Chelsea" target="_blank">Chelsea</a> drew the French champions in the last 16 of the <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/UEFA%20Champions%20League" target="_blank">Champions League</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Paris%20Saint-Germain" target="_blank">PSG</a> knocked Chelsea out in quarter-finals last season despite having <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Zlatan%20Ibrahimovic" target="_blank">Zlatan Ibrahimovic</a> sent off just 30 minutes into the second leg.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Parisians took Chelsea to extra time before Thiago Silva scored the winning goal of the tie.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And the Blues are in desperate form in the Premier League, suffering their ninth defeat of the season away at Leicester last night, and sit 16th in table just a point above the relegation zone.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Europe has, however, offered something of a respite for <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Jose%20Mourinho" target="_blank">Jose Mourinho</a>'s side with them topping Group G.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And Nevin believes if PSG, currently running away with Ligue 1, played in England they would find it tough.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The gap in the final results between Chelsea and PSG over the past two ties has been miniscule, nothing more than away goals and I suspect it will be the same again," Nevin wrote in his column on the Chelsea website.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"What I would argue is that it is nothing to truly fear if we can raise our game to something approaching its best. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"They may be cruising the French League, but there has been a noticeable drop in standard over there in the past few years. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I suspect if PSG were in the Premier League they would be suffering the upsets from the likes of Stoke City and Bournemouth just like the rest of us. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Keeping the two competitions separate in our minds might be a good idea, if it is at all possible to do so."</div>

SHAKHTAR DONETSK midfielder Alex Teixeira has revealed talks with Paris Saint-Germain ahead of the January window.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Alex%20Teixeira" rel="tag" target="_blank">The uncapped Brazilian</a> has been heavily linked with a high-profile move after his impressive form for <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Shakhtar%20Donetsk" rel="tag" target="_blank">Shakhtar</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The 25-year-old attacker has scored 26 goals in as many outings this season, catching the eye of European heavyweights <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Paris%20Saint-Germain" rel="tag" target="_blank">PSG</a>, <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/chelsea" rel="tag" target="_blank">Chelsea</a> and <a href="http://www.newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Juventus" rel="tag" target="_blank">Juventus</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And while Teixeira is well aware of the interest in his services, the former Vasco da Gama star is not looking too far into the future.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I know that there is interest on their part," the former Brazil Under-20 star revealed. "There have been talks but nothing concrete at this point.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"For the moment what interests me is going on holiday to Brazil, and we will see what the future holds for us."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Teixeira confirmed last month that Premier League champions Chelsea and Serie A giants Juve have also entered talks with Shakhtar.</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Alex Teixeira has scored 26 goals in all competitions this season</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said: "From what I have seen and what my manager said, Chelsea, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain have made proposals.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"But Chelsea and Juventus are deeper in negotiations. They are all big clubs. Wherever I go, I'll be happy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I have spoken to many people who play in the Premier League because I think it's the best league in the world. It's the most competitive and I want this challenge in my career."</div>
