Stoke snap up Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma on loan

Chelsea have tied the France international to a new six-year contract.

Stoke have signed Kurt Zouma on a season-long from Chelsea, who have tied the France international to a new six-year contract.

The 22-year-old centre-half has made 71 appearances for the Blues since joining from St Etienne in 2014, but suffered a serious knee injury in February 2016, halting his progress.
