Kurt Zouma, Saint-Etienne
The highly-rated French defender has been a summer transfer target for numerous Premier League clubs, including Cardiff, Arsenal and Chelsea, but none have managed to agree a fee for the £15million-rated centre back. The uncertainty over the long-term future of defenders Younes Kaboul and Michael Dawson means Spurs are in the market for a young defender, to rival emerging talent Steven Caulker going forward, as they look for a partner for Jan Vertonghen. Earning rave-reviews at the recent U20 World Cup, Zouma has embraced his role in the national team, with a big future ahead of him. Possessing all the key skills needed to succeed, including aerial ability, composure on the ball and excellent technique, his addition to Tottenham’s Champions League bid would be fantastic.
