Arsenal join race to sign Kurt Zouma

Arsenal are reportedly set to join a long list of clubs interested in securing the services of Saint Etienne defender Kurt Zouma during the New Year.

The 19-year-old centre-half  is currently under a 10 match suspension until February following a leg breaking tackle made on Sochaux midfielder Thoma Guerbert last month.


Zouma, who is considered as one of the hottest prospects in European football has been linked with a switch to a number of European sides since the summer, and The Mirror reports that Chelsea are leading the race for the signature of the French Under-21 International, with the likes of Manchester City and Arsenal said to be monitoring the player's progress.


It will be interesting to see where Zouma's future lies during the upcoming transfer window, as the French outfit are willing to accept offers of around £13m for their highly-rated star.
