The San Siro boss is said to be ‘desperate’ to improve and hopes to land the French Under 21 international in the near future.

The Serie A side will make a loan offer for the former Saint-Etienne man though one wonders if Jose Mourinho would be open to such a deal given it would theoretically leave him short of options at the back.

Though the 20 year old is by no means a regular, Zouma having started just one Premier League fixture this season, given the Blues are challenging on four fronts it seems there is little for Mourinho to gain from sending the centre-back away on a temporary deal.

Zouma is still behind the likes of John Terry and Gary Cahill in Mourinho’s central defensive pecking order but has age on his side and has looked fairly decent when called upon this term.

Chelsea paid Saint-Etienne £12.5m for Zouma in January 2014 before loaning him back to the Ligue 1 side to see out the last campaign.
