Tottenham close to signing Zouma

Kurt Zouma could change teams this transfer window, as rumours have circulated for months regarding the Frenchman's possible departure. He was linked to Premier League sides such as West Ham and Chelsea even tried to utilise him in a deal for Seville's Jules Kounde.

However, according to information from 'Sky Sports', the centre-back could find himself under the instructions of Nuno Espirito Santo before the window closes. The Blues set a price tag of 35 million euros, although Tottenham could secure his services for 28 million. The 26-year-old is Tottenham's absolute priority, however if his arrival breaks down they have a 'Plan B'. Namely, Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic.

At the moment, Zouma is contracted at Chelsea until 2023. Last season, he made an impressive 36 appearances, starting all but four of them. In that time he scored five goals and was crowned Champion of Europe after beating City 1-0 in the final.
