According to Sky Sports, Tottenham are interested in signing Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma, who’s also of interest to West Ham and Everton.
What’s the story?
Well, it seems Nuno Espirito Santo isn’t entirely happy with his centre-back options just yet, despite the £47m signing of Cristian Romero.
Spurs have tried to sign some of La Liga’s finest in Jules Kounde and Pau Torres, although both defenders have rejected the move.
Now, it seems Fabio Paratici is looking to buy local with a swoop for Zouma.
The 26-year-old started Saturday’s 3-0 win over Crystal Palace on the bench.
22-year-old Premier League debutant Trevor Chalobah was preferred by Thomas Tuchel, which doesn’t bode well for Zouma in our view.
The 8-cap France international arrived at Stamford Bridge from Saint-Etienne in January 2014 for £12m.
Since then, he has made 151 appearances for the Blues.
West Ham and Everton also want Kurt Zouma
As aforesaid, West Ham and Everton are also interested in Zouma.
Sky Sports believe the £46,000-a-week man is West Ham’s primary target, and the centre-back himself is open to teaming up with David Moyes.
However, the Hammers are finding Chelsea’s £25m valuation to be a problem.
Elsewhere, it was said that Everton want Zouma back at Goodison Park.
Chelsea’s No.15 made 36 appearances on loan with the Toffees back in the 2018/19 campaign.
With three attractive Premier League clubs all fighting for Zouma, it will be interesting to see where he ends up – keep your eyes on this transfer saga.
