There are reports that Jose Mourinho wants Tottenham’s top board to help him seal a summer swoop for Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma.

The Spurs boss, who landed Zouma for the Blues during his time in charge of the club, hopes to reunite with the player he bought for £12million.

The France centre-back, who’s been a part of the Blues squad since joining from Saint Etienne in 2014, enjoyed two successful loan spells at Stoke and Everton.

Although Frank Lampard made more use of the 25-year-old’s defensive talents this season, the player looks to be heading for the Stamford Bridge exit.

Media outlets in France claim Mourinho has been in talks with Tottenham’s board over a possible move for Zouma.
