A player seemingly groomed to be John Terry's replacement at the heart of the Chelsea defence, Kurt Zouma is actually a far more versatile prospect than this label would suggest. Also capable of playing a highly effective defensive midfield role, the young Frenchman is a physically dominant specimen, standing an incredibly powerful 6'3". Zouma already has three seasons with Saint-Etienne under his belt, and although the Premier League is a more daunting prospect than Ligue 1 (at least in terms of pace and physicality), he looks perfectly equipped to make such a transition. He made his international debut last March, and will surely edge his way further into Jose Mourinho's first team this season.
