Stoke City striker Peter Crouch says Kurt Zouma can make it at Chelsea.

Zouma has spent season on-loan with Crouch at the Potters.

Crouch told the Daily Mail: “Helping Stoke is his priority, as it has been since he first walked through the door.

“It would be easy for loan players to take a back seat in tough situations but Kurt has been a good lad around the place.

“He has also been good on the pitch and I'm convinced he will go on to be Chelsea and France's first choice central defender.

“Everything you would want from a defender, he has got. Kurt is quick, strong, good on the ball and his leap is absolutely ridiculous.

“We do tests in the gym to measure your spring and he can get so high his head touches the ceiling.

“Really, he can be anything he wants to be."
