Jules Kounde ‘feeling uneasy’ about Chelsea move with West Ham target Kurt Zouma keen to remain in the Premier League

Jules Kounde is reportedly concerned his move to Chelsea from Sevilla is in danger of collapsing.

Reports last month suggested a deal had been agreed to bring the centre-back to Stamford Bridge, with Kurt Zouma reportedly set to move in the opposite direction.

The Blues were unwilling to meet the £68million asking price for the 23-year-old, so decided on a player-swap deal plus cash to facilitate the move.

Zouma seemed a likely candidate, with an additional €35m (£30m) offered to cover the costs, although it was claimed Sevilla wanted €45m (£40m).

According to Spanish publication Diario de Sevilla, there is ‘growing uncertainty’ that a deal will take place at all now.

Zouma is keen to remain in the Premier League, with West Ham keen on a move, whilst the two teams are still apart in their valuations.

Due to the setbacks in the deal, Kounde is reportedly ‘feeling uneasy’ about the deal, despite having agreed a four-year deal with Chelsea.

However, talkSPORT’s transfer correspondent Alex Crook has the latest information on the situation and remains confident a deal will be achieved.

Crook said: “I think Kounde will happen. I think at the moment they are haggling over whether Kurt Zouma will be part of that deal.

DREAM TEAM IS BACK!

“I think Zouma wants to stay in the Premier League. I know West Ham would be keen to sign him, but maybe not for the price Chelsea are looking for.

“With Tammy Abraham, I think they are going to have to lower that £40million price or he will be price out of a move.”
