Zouma: I want to stay at Chelsea

Kurt Zouma has told France Football he wants to stay at Chelsea.

Chelsea have been tipped to loan out the French defender amid reports they are looking to bring in at least one centre-back this summer.

A number of European clubs, including Sevilla, have been linked with Zouma in recent weeks.

But he said: “I am very happy at Chelsea. I hear the rumours. It’s flattering.

“It means I’m a player people are looking at, but I am not going to stop there. My objective is to stay at Chelsea.

“Next season we will start from scratch and there will be a lot of games. It is up to me to work hard.”
