Chelsea's swoop for Jules Kounde has hit complications as it emerged Kurt Zouma is reluctant to join Sevilla as part of the £50million deal.

However, Chelsea defender Zouma was giving serious consideration to refusing to be used as a makeweight in the efforts to land Kounde on Thursday night, a scenario that would result in a major stumbling block.
