Sunderland want Zouma
Sunderland are keen to open talks with Chelsea over defender Kurt Zouma.
Chelsea signed the Frenchman in January before loaning him back to St Etienne for the remainder of last season.
The Daily Mail says Sunderland hope they can complete a loan swoop for Zouma because of sporting director Lee Congerton’s contacts at Stamford Bridge.
Congerton worked as a youth coach and a scout at Chelsea before moving with Frank Arnesen to Hamburg and then on to Wearside in March.
