Leicester City have joined the battle for Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma.

Le 10 Sport says Zouma is being courted by both Everton and Leicester this summer and Chelsea are prepared to cash in on the centre back before the window closes.

Zouma started alongside Andreas Christensen in the opening two Premier League matches of the season, but the arrival of Thiago Silva from Paris Saint-Germain is expected to drop him out of the starting XI.

With that in mind, Chelsea are willing to cash in on the Frenchman if the right offer comes in, with their two Premier League rivals eyeing moves.

It is believed that Everton are the more interested party, with Zouma having spent a successful loan spell at the club in the 2018-19 season.
