Kurt Zouma
DBasia.news – Last season was one of Kurt Zouma’s best seasons as a Chelsea loan player at Everton. Zouma often plays under Marco Silva.
Satisfied with the appearance of the Frenchman, the Toffees also planned to recruit Zouma with permanent status, unfortunately, the hopes of the club based at Goodison Park seemed to be difficult to realize, the article Frank Lampard as Chelsea coach had confirmed that he wanted to keep the player as the center back.
Now the opportunity to recruit Zouma seems to be increasingly difficult to do, because the player was determined to secure a position in the backline, especially at this time the Blues had also been handled by Lampard.
“Yes, I had the target to be able to return to strengthen the French national team, I want to go back into the squad and it turned out to be able to make it happen,” Zouma said as reported by the Mirror.
“Now the latest target is being able to be part of the French squad that will compete at Euro 2020, but beforehand you certainly have to be the first choice at club level. I will try hard for that,” added the 24-year-old.
Opportunities to see Zouma leave seemed indeed already closed, especially the club owned by Roman Abramovich also could not bring in new players along with sanctions transfer embargo imposed by FIFA.
Closing the conversation, Zouma also gave a signal if he would stay in London.
“Yes, I did enjoy the time of defending Everton, but I am a Chelsea player. We will see what will happen later, but it looks like I will stay at Stamford Bridge,” he explained.
