Stoke City are eager to keep hold of Kurt Zouma next season.
Stoke are planning to take Zouma on another loan deal from Chelsea next season - if they remain in the Premier League, says The Sun.
The 23 year-old Chelsea defender has missed just three league games since joining Stoke on loan from Stamford Bridge and Paul Lambert wants to keep the player next season if they stay up.
Stoke drew 0-0 with Southampton yesterday.
