Everton boss Marco Silva won't wait forever over the return of Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma.

Silva says he won't keep waiting to sign the Frenchman.

“You are right, you are right," Silva replied when asked if there would be a cut off point for his interest in Zouma.

“Of course, one of the most important things for me, since we finished the season, is to keep our level.

“It is very, very good for us that we could do that with Andre [Gomes] and our most important players until now, because it was not just Andre and Kurt.

“The most important players in our squad are still here at our club, the 15 or 16 players who played the most are still here until this moment, other than Kurt. Let's see what we can do in this situation."
