Former Everton executive, Kurt Zouma, hints that he could still switch to Chelsea's post

Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma may have suggested in a subtle way that he is always ready to return to Everton despite Frank Lampard's transfer position.

The half-center, who impressed during his loan of the season to Goodison Park last quarter, shared a photo of his football boots with the interesting number five sewn to the side.

This is the figure that the French international was wearing for Everton during the 2018/19 campaign, Chelsea No. 5 being currently occupied by the Italian midfielder Jorginho.

The Frenchman shared a photo of the Nike Phantom Venom boots with Instagram.

The bright yellow shoes have their initials next to the tricolor and the number five.

Marco Silva made it clear that his ambition was to sign the central defender this summer, but he had a huge blow as London Blues boss Lampard recently expressed his desire to keep Zouma under control for the upcoming season. .

The former English international said: "I want it here, it's simple, I want him to be happy." "He plays and plays well this season, he plays."

Responding to his praise, the 24-year-old replied, "I'm glad the manager said about me, which means he sees the work I'm doing and I'm very happy about that.
