Earlier this morning it was speculated that Kurt Zouma could make a deadline day move to Chelsea from St Etienne. Zouma has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge for much of the January transfer window with manager Jose Mourinho viewing the 19-year-old as a long-term replacement to John Terry. However, the Portuguese boss intends to loan the France U-21 international straight back to St Etienne for the rest of the season so he can continue to develop and play regular football. Should the deal go through, Zouma would arrive at the west London club this summer where he would begin his first season at the club properly, after moving from France. Zouma plays centre-half and any move would raise serious questions over the future of Terry, who will turn 34 at the end of the year and may be into his last season at the club.
