The agent of St Etienne defender Kurt Zouma has revealed three major clubs are in contact.

Zouma's agent announces "it's a three-horse race" between Inter Milan, Chelsea and AS Monaco for the St-Etienne defender.

"Serie A is an interesting destination, as are Inter, for the tactical growth of the lad," agent David Venditelli told L'Equipe.

"Of course he wouldn't mind moving to the Premier League, hopefully to Chelsea, where he could work with Jose Mourinho or to Monaco in Ligue 1.

"There were other sides interested, such as Newcastle, but now it's a three-horse race."
