# Stoke and West Brom to discuss Zouma loan

Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma is a man in demand this summer, and according to Sky Sports’ Kaveh Solhekol, West Brom and Stoke are to discuss a loan move with the defender.

Several sides have been linked with a move for the Frenchman on a season-long loan deal, with his first-team opportunities at Chelsea appearing to be limited ahead of the upcoming campaign.

It’s been widely reported that Antonio Conte is happy for Zouma to spend next season away from Stamford Bridge. This is because as a result of the depth in Chelsea’s defensive options, along with the recent arrival of Antonio Rudiger from AS Roma for £35m, chances to impress with the Blues will be hard to come by.

Zouma made just three starts for Chelsea last season, and will hope that a move elsewhere can reignite his career once more.

According to Spanish radio outlet Cadena SER, as cited by [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/app/transfer-centre) today, Valencia are keen to bring the Frenchman in on a season-long loan deal, too.
