Tottenham Hotspur 'lining up Kurt Zouma move'

Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho is reportedly keen to bring Chelsea centre-back Kurt Zouma to the club during this summer's transfer window.

Spurs are expected to be in the market for at least one new defender ahead of the 2020-21 campaign with Jan Vertonghen set to leave on a free transfer.

According to RMC Sport, Mourinho has identified Zouma as a potential signing, with the Portuguese eyeing a reunion with a player whom he previously managed at Chelsea.

The report claims that the Blues would be open to selling the Frenchman during this summer's transfer window, although Frank Lampard's team are in a strong position to negotiate due to the fact that the centre-back still has three years left to run on his contract.

Zouma has made 33 appearances at club level during the 2019-20 campaign, although he lost his place in the first XI in early stages of 2020.

The 25-year-old spent each of the last two seasons on loan with Stoke City and Everton before returning to Stamford Bridge ahead of the current campaign.
