Everton, Tottenham Hotspur 'both interested in Kurt Zouma'

Everton and Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in signing Chelsea centre-back Kurt Zouma during this summer's transfer window.

The 26-year-old made 36 appearances for the Blues during the 2020-21 campaign, including 24 in the Premier League, but he was not a regular in the second half of the season.

Chelsea are said to be in the market for a new centre-back this summer, which could push the Frenchman further down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge.

According to Telefoot journalist Julian Maynard, both Everton and Tottenham are keeping a close eye on developments and could submit offers ahead of next season.

Zouma, who still has two years left to run on his contract with the Blues, has made 150 appearances for Chelsea since arriving from Saint-Etienne in 2014.

The Frenchman - also thought to be a potential target for new Roma boss Jose Mourinho - spent the 2018-19 campaign on loan at Everton, making 36 outings in all competitions.
