Kurt Zouma: Everton sign France centre-back after late bid on deadline day
Last updated on .From the section Everton
Everton have signed France centre-back Kurt Zouma on a season-long loan from Chelsea.
The Toffees made a late move for the 23-year-old on deadline day but had to wait until Friday to learn if their bid had been successful.
Zouma has made 71 appearances for the Blues and spent last season on loan at Stoke.
He becomes Everton's eighth summer signing following Yerry Mina, Andre Gomes and Bernard's arrival at Goodison Park on Thursday.
Richarlison, Lucas Digne and Joao Virginia have also joined Marco Silva's squad this summer.
Chelsea have also loaned out striker Michy Batshuayi, to Spanish side Valencia.

Actually looking forward to tomorrow
"Bitterness - Anger and disappointment at perceived unfair treatment or injustice"
Now tell me - which group of "fans" have the victim mentality that fits that description?
Love it that someone called Cahill is a red. Must have gone into hiding when Tim was playing for us!!
They have strengthened positions that needed to be strengthened and have a far better balance now.
They will take time to gel, but in time they will be a very dangerous side.
Aren't they just..
throwing rocks and bottles at a rival teams bus, sending death threats to one of their own players and stealing ticket off their own fans in istanbull and that was just last season. Loveable bunch
Have been in the Champions league...when the RS had to get a special pardon because they finished below us in the league in 5th. Another joker trying to troll on an Everton article. F O.
