Journalist: Tottenham yet to bid for 26-year-old CL winner…but rival club in talks now – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Tottenham Hotspur are yet to submit an offer for Kurt Zouma, according to Italian journalist, Fabrizio Romano.
The Athletic claimed earlier this month that Spurs are looking to sign a centre-back before the end of the transfer window, and they have been linked with a host of top talents across Europe.
Chelsea centre-back, Zouma, has surprisingly been linked with a move away from the club, with several clubs vying for his signature, including Spurs.
The 26-year-old, who was excellent for the Blues last season and helped the club win the Champions League title, has been targeted by both West Ham and Tottenham.
Romano claimed yesterday that the Hammers are still keen on signing the Frenchman, as Chelsea are pushing ahead with their interest in Sevilla defender Jules Kounde.
The Hammers boss, David Moyes, is desperate to sign a new centre-back this summer after a move for Nikola Milenkovic failed at the final stage.
It seems Spurs are also in the race to sign Zouma but they haven’t come up with an official bid.
Chelsea will complete Davide Zappacosta sale to Atalanta, personal terms also agreed. He won’t join Fiorentina – but no problem for Lirola to OM, he’ll be in Marseille today.

…and talks on between Zouma and West Ham, as reported yesterday. No bid from Tottenham.

Zouma will be a fantastic signing for both Spurs and West Ham.
He has got a wealth of Premier League experience and has the calibre to lead the defensive set-up.
According to The Guardian’s Jacob Steinberg Zouma will cost around £25 million, which is a reasonable price for a player who has got the best years ahead of him.
