Chelsea have captured another one of their transfer targets. This time, it's highly-rated defender Kurt Zouma, who has agreed to move to Stamford Bridge in the summer as confirmed by Chelsea. The Blues have loaned him straight back to St. Etienne as part of the deal.
The fee is around €15m (£12.5m) has been agreed between the two parties. Following the agreement between the clubs, Mourinho made a personal call to the teenager and convinced him to join the London side. The 19-year-old then signed on a five-and-a-half-year contract at Stamford Bridge.
However, there were reports that the Blues had been put off by St Etienne's valuation of the player, but any problems appear to have now been ironed out as Chelsea were able to improve their original offer of £10m and clinch a deal.
The signing of Zouma will take Chelsea's January spending above £48m having also bought Nemanja Matic and Mohamed Salah earlier this month. However, they have still made a profit during the month as Juan Mata and Kevin de Bruyne left for a combined fee of £53m.
