Tottenham is looking to hijack West Ham’s move for Chelsea defender, Kurt Zouma before this transfer window closes.
The Blues want to get rid of the Frenchman to add another defender to their squad in this transfer window.
Zouma is a decent centre back and previously spent a successful season out on loan at Everton, however, he is now surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea wants to sell him as opposed to a loan and West Ham has been keen to complete his transfer.
The Hammers are reportedly very close to making him one of their signings, according to Todofichajes.
The report claims that David Moyes’ side has reached an agreement with the Blues to sign him for €25M.
However, Tottenham has contacted his representatives to tell them of their intentions to sign him as well as to convince him to turn down a move to West Ham.
The report says Fabio Paratici is now looking to make him an offer that would be better than that of West Ham.
Adding Zouma to the Tottenham squad should upgrade the defence and the overhaul currently going on at the Tottenham Stadium shows no sign of slowing down.
