1 Kurt Zouma

Sampdoria president Massimo Ferrero has revealed his club are trying to sign Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma.

The 20-year-old joined Chelsea in January 2014 for £12m from Saint-Etienne, signing a five-and-a-half deal.

Since then the Frenchman has slowly begun to break his way into Jose Mourinho’s plans and he made 14 Premier League appearances last season.

However, that has not stopped Sampdoria chasing his services and their president has now admitted he’s working on a deal.

“I already signed [Niklas] Moisander from Ajax and I am trying to get Zouma, because they are very physical players,” said Ferrero.
