Everton open negotiations with Chelsea over Kurt Zouma transfer



Everton have opened talks with Chelsea about signing Kurt Zouma on a permanent deal having agreed the £22million transfer of Andre Gomes from Barcelona.

Zouma and Gomes were key players on loan for Marco Silva last season and the manager has made it clear to Everton that he wants them both to sign long-term contracts.

With Gomes understood to have agreed a four-year contract Everton will turn to Zouma who is due to return to Chelsea as things stand with his season-long loan having expired.

Everton hope that the two-window transfer ban at Chelsea will not prevent them from considering the sale of the central defender. They have told the 24-year-old that they want to sign him although the French international will not come cheap.

It remains to be seen how Chelsea react given David Luiz has signed a new contract at the club. Antonio Rudiger will possibly miss the start of next season due to a knee injury and Gary Cahill has left, after his contract expired. There is also Andreas Christensen and Ethan Ampadu, and Fikayo Tomori who has been on loan at Derby County under Frank Lampard who is expected to be Chelsea’s new manager. Even so, the club may feel they are left short in the centre of defence.

Gomes had been considering his options but told Everton two weeks ago that he wanted to stay at the club and had rejected a move to West Ham United after Tottenham Hotspur cooled their interest in the midfielder.

Silva was instrumental in bringing the Portuguese international to Goodison Park and has been desperate for him to stay.

If Zouma also signs it will be a significant boost for Everton who are also looking to add at least two more players to their squad during the summer transfer window having already brought in goalkeeper Jonas Lossl on a free transfer from relegated Huddersfield Town.

Kurt Zouma: Everton target Chelsea defender on permanent deal

Everton are stepping up their efforts to sign Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma on a permanent deal.

The 24-year-old France defender had a highly successful loan spell at Goodison Park last season.

Any proposed deal will have to be signed off by Chelsea's new manager, who is expected to be Frank Lampard.

Everton have made Zouma their next top transfer priority after signing Portugal midfielder Andre Gomes from Barcelona in a £22m deal.

Chelsea are expected to demand in excess of £30m if they decide to sell but Everton manager Marco Silva and director of football Marcel Brands are determined to bring Zouma back to Merseyside. It is understood the player would also be happy to return if he fails to receive assurances about first-team football at Stamford Bridge.

Zouma's next destination will be in the hands of their new manager, almost certainly Lampard.

He will make final decision as Chelsea could also be operating under a two-window transfer ban following an investigation into their signing of foreign under-18 players. They are currently appealing to the Court Of Arbitration For Sport.

Everton will test Chelsea's resolve as they seek to strengthen their central defensive resources following the decision to let captain Phil Jagielka leave, with Zouma their first choice to fill the gap.

Brands and Silva are determined to build on Everton's promising finish to last season which brought victories over Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United. They see the pursuit of Zouma as a key part of their plans after concluding a deal with Barcelona for Gomes, who also had a loan spell on Merseyside last season.

In what could be a busy summer at Goodison Park, Everton are also actively pursuing a deal for a striker, with Turkey international Cenk Tosun failing to make a serious impact following his £27m move from Besiktas in January 2018.

A right-back will also be sought after England under-21 defender Jonjoe Kenny was allowed to join Bundesliga side Schalke on a season-long loan.
