St Etienne defender Kurt Zouma has welcomed interest from Liverpool.

Zouma's agent, David Vanditelli, has confirmed that there is interest from Liverpool and thinks he would benefit from a move to Anfield even if he were to sit on the bench.

"Playing in the Europa League is a prospect that pleases him. But Liverpool and other clubs are very interesting," Vanditelli told Eurosport France.

"He could leave to sit on the bench, but it is better to be on the bench of a big club like Liverpool, with all due respect to Saint Etienne."
