Everton have been alerted to the increasing possibility of Chelsea FC’s plans to sell Kurt Zouma this summer. The French international has been high on Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti’s shortlist for the ongoing transfer window.
The Blues manager Frank Lampard has decided to dip in the market to sign a new center-back for his side. However, Lampard is aware that he would need to offload certain first-team defenders to accommodate new arrivals at Stamford Bridge.
And it seems that it would be the 25-year old Zouma who is set to get the ax from Chelsea FC ahead of next season. The Frenchman has endured a season of mixed fortunes with the West London based Premier League outfit. The center-back’s showings for Lampard’s side in recent months have been fairly inconsistent.
The Toffees are being considered the frontrunners in the race to secure Zouma’s services this summer. Carlo Ancelotti is eager on bringing in additional defensive reinforcements for his side as they look to challenge for a Europa League spot next season.
Meanwhile, the Blues have been linked with a number of top quality center-halves ahead of next season. Atletico Madrid’s Jose Maria Gimenez has been tipped to seal a big-money move to Stamford Bridge this summer, according to recent reports.
