Gylfi Sigurdsson and Phil Jagielka are hoping Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma will turn his loan spell at Everton into a permanent move.
Zouma is spending the season on loan with the Toffees, making the move to Merseyside after being told he was surplus to requirements for Maurizio Sarri’s Chelsea side.
This is Zouma’s third loan spell away from Stamford Bridge since moving to the Premier League side in 2014, and the Frenchman has performed well, helping Everton to keep seven clean sheets, including in the 4-0 thrashing they handed Manchester United on Sunday, as well as scoring two goals.
