Reports are out claiming that Manchester United have all but accepted St Etienne defender Kurt Zouma will join Chelsea.
The Daily Mail reported that the reigning Premier League champions have an interest in Zouma but believe the 19-year-old is destined for Chelsea.
It is said that United enquired believing Chelsea’s interest had cooled but instead it is understood they have offered a five year contract to centre-back Zouma on the premise he joins them in the summer.
Chelsea could bring the deal forward to this week to ensure United miss out.
