Kurt Zouma 'will not rush decision amid Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United talk'

Chelsea centre-back Kurt Zouma is reportedly not in a rush to decide his future amid speculation that Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United are both battling to sign him.

The 26-year-old was an unused substitute in his side's first match of the 2021-22 Premier League season against Crystal Palace and is believed to be surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge this summer.

West Ham are said to be keen on a deal for the Frenchman, while Tottenham are also believed to be exploring the possibility of signing the centre-back before the end of the transfer window.

However, according to L'Equipe, Zouma will not be rushed into making a decision on his future.

The report claims that the defender is currently comfortable at Stamford Bridge and wants to carefully consider his options before making a final decision on where he will play his football this term.

Zouma, who has less than two years left to run on his current deal with the Blues, was a regular for Thomas Tuchel's side during the 2020-21 campaign, making 36 appearances in all competitions.
