Chelsea defender Zouma: Keep an eye on Yoan at Bolton

Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma is delighted seeing his kid brother making it at Bolton Wanderers.

Yoan Zouma joined Bolton in August 2018 and was made to feel at home by his elder sibling, who was on loan in the North-West at Everton last season.

"We lived 20 minutes away from each other so he used to be at my house every day, always having dinner together," Kurt told chelseafc.com.

"He played in the Under-23s last season and now he's played a few games for the first team. He has done well. He's the same kind of player as me: big, strong and quick. He deserves what happens to him.

"He has been working hard in France, where he went through a lot. Now he is here, not far from me in England. We are always on the phone; I try to give him some advice. Hopefully he gets through into bigger leagues. He's my little brother, I love him so much and I'm very happy for him. I hope he keeps going, keeps working hard and keeps pushing in the first team."
