Kurt Zouma’s price tag is unlikely to be reduced by Chelsea who remain firm on the asking price to allow the player to head out the exit door at Stamford Bridge this summer.
The France international central defender has emerged as one of the top names being scouted by West Ham United but David Moyes’ side have been priced out of a move for the Chelsea man according to the recent speculation doing the rounds.
With Chelsea pushing to renew their efforts to sign the highly-rated young talent Jules Kounde from Sevilla in this summer’s transfer window, Zouma has been backed to leave the Blues as he is certain to fall down the pecking order.
His exit from the Chelsea camp this summer, however, could run into trouble with reports from 90Min claiming that Chelsea are not likely to budge on their £25 million valuation of the Frenchman who continues to attract attention from elsewhere.
Zouma had earlier refused a move to Sevilla as a part of Chelsea’s cash-plus-player offer tabled to land Kounde with Zouma persistent on extending his stay in London amid interest from West Ham.
