Chelsea star Kurt Zouma's £25m West Ham transfer at risk of collapse 'due to injury worry'

Signing from Saint-Etienne in January 2014 for £12m, Zouma initially looked as though he had a lengthy career as a Chelsea regular ahead of him, before injuring himself in February 2016, ruling him out for six months.

He subsequently went out on loan to Stoke and Everton, where he plied his trade in a bid to return to the Chelsea starting XI.

But after finding his way back into the side, it appears Thomas Tuchel is keener on the reset of his centre-back battalion.

West Ham boss David Moyes is keen to pad out his squad following their qualification for the Europa League.
