AS Monaco are in contact with Chelsea for Kurt Zouma.
ASM management are in the market for a new centre-half signing and their search has led to Chelsea and Zouma.
The France defender signed for Chelsea in January from Saint-Etienne before being loaned back for the remainder of last season.
With Zouma now third choice behind Gary Cahill and John Terry, the young defender could be open to another loan move away.
The youngster is also a target for Sunderland.
