Chelsea fans have reacted on Twitter to the rumours that Tottenham want to sign Kurt Zouma.

Both Chelsea and Spurs don’t do much transfer business with one another, so such a rumour has come as a surprise.

But with Nuno Espirito Santo re-building this previously declining squad, it’s quite clear more fresh faces are needed before the transfer window slams shut.

Sky Sports reported that Zouma is wanted by Spurs, with West Ham also keen on the hard-hitting defender and the player’s preference is to stay in London.

That increases any chances of Zouma making the short trip across London, but Chelsea fans don’t want him to move to a rival.

The Frenchman won the Champions League last season, but he was an unused substitute during Chelsea’s 3-0 win against Crystal Palace over the weekend.

And if Thomas Tuchel brings in another centre-back this summer then that clearly pushes the former Everton loanee further down the pecking order.

John Terry also weighed in on this rumour and he urged Zouma to snub the North London club – he made sure to tag his name when he made the comment on Instagram, so he would have surely got the message.

It’s just a case of whether he would say no if some money was put on the table and if Chelsea were to accept.
