The arrival of Thomas Tuchel at Stamford Bridge has shaken things up a bit, with his methods and choices paying off, as Chelsea won the Champions League in the process.
Now setting themselves the goal of toppling Manchester City from the top of the Premier League, the London side will likely bring in some players, and sell some.
Among the casualties is expected to be Kurt Zouma, according to TF1 journalist Julien Maynard, with Everton and Tottenham said to be ‘interested’.
The French journalist took to Twitter to explain the French defender ‘should leave Chelsea’ this summer, and that Wolverhampton Wanderers made a move for him, which he turned down.
Both Everton and Tottenham are also keen on the centre-back, with the Toffees knowing exactly what they’ll be getting, having loaned Zouma from Chelsea during the 2018-19 season.

As for Spurs, they are on the lookout for a defender, currently in talks with Bologna regarding Takehiro Tomiyasu.
Everton and Tottenham aren’t the only ones after the Chelsea man, though, as José Mourinho, who is a big fan of Zouma, also wants him at AS Roma, where he would like to bring him in on a loan with a view to buy if possible.
A door has opened for a 26-year-old experienced Premier League defender, but who will win?
