Everton midfielder Andre Gomes has already signed permanently at Goodison Park this season.

Andre Gomes has suggested to the Liverpool Echo that he would like to see Kurt Zouma join him at Everton.

BBC Sport have suggested that Everton are in negotiations with Chelsea for the £30 million centre-back.

Gomes knows Zouma well, as the pair were both on loan at Goodison Park last term.

Gomes has now made his move to Everton permanent, and he is hoping that Zouma does the same.

“I can’t decide that [whether Everton will sign Zouma]. Kurt played really well last season. He’s a fantastic player,” the Portuguese midfielder said.

“If Everton want him I will say to buy him also! I would like him here.”

Everton’s move for Zouma may prove to be more difficult than their one for Gomes was.

Chelsea are operating under a transfer ban, which means that Zouma could have a role to play at Stamford Bridge.

Because Chelsea cannot sign replacements, Everton are in danger of having to pay over the odds to land the Frenchman.

If Everton could secure the signature of Zouma it would be a major boost to Silva’s side’s chances, as his partnership with Michael Keane was rock solid last term.
