Queens Park Rangers bid £7.5m for French defender Kurt Zouma?

Queens Park Rangers are reportedly planning to bid £7.5m for French defender Kurt Zouma.

The 17-year-old is one the hottest young properties in Europe, and Hoops boss Mark Hughes is "desperate" to boost his central defensive options, according to The Sun.

QPR face competition from Juventus and Manchester City, who are also said to be interested in the defender.

Zouma started for Saint Etienne in their opening game of the Ligue 1 season against Lille on Saturday.
