Chelsea are reportedly pondering a move for Saint-Etienne defender Kurt Zouma in the January transfer window.
While Blues manager Jose Mourinho has claimed that he is not looking for a new striker in the winter window, reports have emerged suggesting that the Portuguese boss is keen to tighten his defence.
The Premier League outfit, who have shipped seven goals in their last three games, could spend £10m on the 19-year-old, according to The Mirror.
Zouma is currently serving a 10-match ban for a tackle on Sochaux midfielder Thomas Guerbert, who was left with a broken leg.
