Kounde’s Move To Chelsea Hits A Stumbling Block After Chelsea Star Makes Decision

Chelsea’s bid to sign Jules Kounde from Sevilla has taken a hit due to Kurt Zouma’s preferences, according to Sky Sports.

Meanwhile, Sevilla wants cash plus Kurt Zouma for the transfer of Kounde, a deal Chelsea is willing to make.

However, the French defender isn’t interested in moving to Spain as he prefers to stay in London, with West Ham among the clubs interested in him.

The deal involving Zouma would cost Chelsea a reported £50, but without Zouma the fee would be considerably higher hence the entire transfer is likely to hit a watershed.
