Tottenham Interested In Chelsea Defender Zouma
Tottenham are interested in signing Kurt Zouma from Premier League rivals Chelsea.
The 26-year-old is one of a number of defenders Tottenham are currently looking at. On Friday, it was reported Spurs are in talks to sign Fiorentina’s Nikola Milenkovic.
Earlier this month, it was reported that Zouma’s preference is to remain in London amid interest from West Ham.
The centre-back is West Ham’s primary target, with the Frenchman open to a move to the London Stadium, although difficulty lies in the valuation, with Chelsea thought to want in the region of £25m – and Zouma’s wages.
Chelsea have also been exploring using Zouma as part of a deal to sign Sevilla’s Jules Kounde.
If a deal cannot be struck for Zouma, the 26-year-old is excited to remain at Chelsea, where he has a contract that is valid until 2023.
Zouma was an unused substitute in Chelsea’s opening Premeir League win over Crystal Palace on Saturday, and played 66 minutes over their UEFA Super Cup victory against Villarreal.
