3. Long term replacement for John Terry
Zouma seems like an excellent prospect and many major European clubs are following his progress at St. Etienne. It seems unlikely that he’ll stay there for much longer, especially with a host of clubs showing interest in his signature. It will no doubt take Zouma some time to to adapt to the pace and physicality of the Premier League, but his physical strength and pace will only make the transition easier for him.
Jose Mourinho prefers to have two players for each position, meaning that a move for the 18 year old would see him go straight into the first team squad. With John Terry’s advancing years and lack of pace, Zouma could be just the sort of replacement that Mourinho is looking for, and at £11 million, he could be the perfect fit for The Special One’s new Chelsea dynasty.
