Twitter reacts in favour of keeping Kurt Zouma at Chelsea
Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window.
The Frenchman has been backed to reunite with former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese was the one who signed him for Chelsea.
The Blues defender is considered expendable by the club as we look to revamp the squad going into next season. If yesterday’s loss to Sheffield United is taken into account, focussing on him clearly takes the heat off worse offenders.
The likes of Antonio Rudiger were shambles as the Blades put three past a hapless Chelsea defence. The German’s botched clearance for the third goal belongs more in a bloopers reel than on the pitch.
Zouma too had his moments where the better judgment was the need of the hour. He twice lost his player for the first two goals. He did show enough promise though to indicate that he would do better in a more enterprising backline.
Twitter was flooded with messages from fans, who wanted to rather keep the Frenchman than sell him to our rivals. We take a look at a few of them below.
Twitter backs under-fire defender to stay amidst defensive disaster class
The only defensive player I believe on is tomori, jame, zouma and Azpilicueta.

Trust Lampard, he’s going Rudiger-Zouma next game. The circle continues. Bottom line is that we need a CB this summer to partner Zouma.

At least, Zouma is more consistent and makes fewest mistakes among the all of them.
For me zouma is a better player than rudger

And someone says we need to sell Zouma

July 8th: fans want jorginho to play to control games and bring balance in the game. Zouma officially become our best defender after the game vs Palace. Kepa is still shit

Fav defender: Zouma
Fav Player: Pulisic,Azpi
Most hateful player: Kepa
I think Zouma would be good enough with someone decent next to him personally. Rudi is awful, Christensen is weak and awful.

Zouma+ another CB strong in aerial duels and second balls is the way to go.
