2. Rock Solid Playing Style
Like Terry, the player who he is likely to replace in the summer, Zouma’s heading ability is very good, and he is rarely beaten in an aerial duel thanks to the incredible leap that he possesses. This could come in really handy for Chelsea when it comes to the defending set-pieces or playing against more physical opponents like Stoke.
He doesn’t dive into tackles very often and generally measured in his tackling since he prefers to use his strength and pace to jockey the opponents off the ball, rarely need to make the last-ditch challenge that is so typical of Gary Cahill and John Terry. Although he does not have the ability to make defense splitting passes like David Luiz, he is comfortable on the ball and can move the ball around the back. However, his long balls need some work, but that will improve with time.
