Chelsea FC reported in her official website that Everton manager Marco Silva says he is still hopeful of signing Kurt Zouma on a permanent deal from the club.
The report in the blues website is believed to be pulled from an external media source, Liverpool Echo. The report in full, "according to the Liverpool Echo, Everton manager Marco Silva has not given up on the idea of securing a permanent deal for Kurt Zouma despite the defender returning to Chelsea for pre-season training.
Zouma enjoyed a good season on loan at Goodison Park in 2018/19 and is a major target for the Toffees, who have already made one loan deal permanent this summer by acquiring midfielder Andre Gomes from Barcelona.
But while the club are keen to bring the Frenchman back, Silva insists he has other options available.
‘I think I am hopeful like all of our fans are but I have to tell you that we have different solutions because we cannot just have one solution,’ said the Portuguese coach on the possibility of getting Zouma.
‘I have different solutions in my mind but I am hopeful and if we can give our fans this fantastic feeling it will be key.
‘But, if not, we have to go in a different way but it is part of the market, part of creating a squad.
‘It was my aim when I finished the season to keep the level and until now we have signed Andre and you know what is in my mind also, and it will be really important if we achieve that and after we have the three or four positions to strengthen our squad also."
