Composure
Since starting at Stamford Bridge against Watford in the FA Cup, the centre-back was handed his first Premier League start in the following game at home to Newcastle – and played a key role in both the victories and the clean-sheets.
A trait that is particularly noticeable of the 20-year-old is his composure on the ball with the defender possessing a level-headed attitude on the pitch that is essential for the quick-pace and physicality of the Premier League.
What’s more, Zouma’s composure on the ball is fuelled by his perceived excellent tactical awareness.
