Saint-Etienne defender Kurt Zouma has revealed that he has spoken to Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho about a possible move to Stamford Bridge in the Summer.
The 19-year-old defender has been monitored closely by Premier League giants such as; Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, but Chelsea have made it clear they would like him to join with a £10million deal in place.
Speaking in an interview in France, Zouma was asked about his future, and he revealed that he has spoken to Mourinho on the phone about a possible transfer for next season, and he has also admitted how much he loves the idea of playing for him at Stamford Bridge.
Zouma said: ‘There was advanced contact last month. At the start I thought it was a joke but afterwards I quickly took [Mourinho’s] call seriously.
‘When a great man like Jose Mourinho calls a little player like Kurt Zouma, it’s nice. It doesn’t happen every day and it’s a big sign of respect and confidence.
‘If you tell me to go to Chelsea, I’ll go there immediately! Especially after the call from the coach. It’s given me ideas.
‘I’m playing my third season in Ligue 1,’ he said. ‘In June, it will be time to go and see how things happen elsewhere.’
