Zouma threatens to BLOCK club's £50m swap deal with Sevilla for Kounde

 Chelsea’s swoop for Jules Kounde 

has hit complications as it emerged 

Kurt Zouma is reluctant to join

 Sevilla as part of the £50million 

deal.


Blues chief Marina Granovskaia and 


Sevilla director of football Monchi will


 hold further talks today with a view 


to concluding the deal for Kounde.



However, Chelsea defender Zouma 


was last night giving serious consideration


 to refusing to be used as a makeweight


 in the efforts to land Kounde, a scenario 


that would result in a major stumbling block.


Chelsea central defender Zouma 


wants to stay in the Premier League, 


preferably London.



Sportsmail revealed on Thursday that


 West Ham are interested in Zouma and


 are in discussions over a £20million 


move.



As it stands, Zouma’s priority is to move


 across the capital to join the Hammers 


ahead of next season.



The Blues want to use Zouma in the 


deal to bring Kounde to Stamford Bridge 


but his stance now poses a major problem.



It remains to be seen whether Zouma 


can be persuaded to change his mind.



Sevilla value Kounde at around £50million


 and Zouma’s expected inclusion in the


 deal would have eased the financial 


burden on Chelsea.



Chelsea value Zouma at around 


£25million - but it remains to be seen 


whether West Ham are willing to 


go as high as that.

The Su n report Rangnick has been in contact  with Haidara’s agent Volker Struth, and a  deal is described as ‘all but done’.

Rangnick is a big fans of Haidara, having signed  him for RB Leipzig from Red Bull Salzburg.  Quoted by  Bundesliga.com  at the time of the  deal, the United interim boss described the  midfielder as an ‘absolutely exceptional’ talent.

Revealed: Ragnick reveals why Ronaldo will be a big doubt for his first game as a manager of Manchester United.

  Cristiano Ronaldo is reportedly a major  doubt for Manchester United's match against  Crystal Palace on Sunday due to  a knee injury.   The 36-year-old Portuguese scored twice  on Thursday evening - including the winner  from the penalty spot - as United beat   Arsenal 3-2 at Old Trafford in Michael  Carrick's final game in charge  as caretaker boss. But The Sun claim Ronaldo may have  injured his knee doing his trademark 'siu'  celebration after smashing the penalty  high into the net past Aaron Ramsdale  with twenty minutes remaining. The Portugal international demonstrated  no immediate ill-effects, running the  length of the pitch in 12 seconds to support  a late counter attack in the 87th minute. However, he was substituted for Anthony  Martial with two minutes of the 90  remaining, and was seen walking awkwardly  off the pitch. If he is ruled out, it will come as a big  blow ...
