Transfer blow for Everton as Lampard wants Zouma to stay at Chelsea

After the France defender impressed on loan at Everton last term, Chelsea's new boss Frank Lampard wants Kurt Zouma to stay at the club.

Frank Lampard intends to keep Kurt Zouma at Chelsea despite Everton’s interest in the defender.

Zouma made 32 Premier League appearances during a loan spell at Goodison Park last term, and the Toffees are reportedly keen to seal a permanent deal for the 24-year-old.

But after Zouma started Friday’s friendly defeat to Kawasaki Frontale in Yokohama, Lampard said he wants the France international to remain at Stamford Bridge.
