Tuchel offers Chelsea future hope to Zouma amid West Ham transfer talk

The French international defender has seen a move across London mooted, but his manager is aware of what he offers at Stamford Bridge

Kurt Zouma continues to be heavily linked with a move away from Chelsea, with West Ham said to be one of his many suitors, but Thomas Tuchel has suggested that there could be a Stamford Bridge future for the defender.

The Blues are well stocked at centre-half and continue to pursue a deal for another France international in Sevilla defender Jules Kounde.

An agreement there could see Zouma used as a makeweight, but Tuchel is not ruling out the prospect of keeping a unit that delivered Champions League glory last season intact.
