# Lampard to make decision on Zouma’s Chelsea future

Frank Lampard will be given the final word on a potential deal to sell Kurt Zouma to Everton this summer, should the former take the Chelsea job.

[The BBC reports](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48785416) that Everton are stepping up their interest in the Frenchman, as they bid to turn his loan move into a permanent one.

Zouma has impressed at Everton and Marco Silva is keen to bring him back permanently as a long-term replacement for Phil Jagielka.

It remains to be seen if there is a future for Zouma at Stamford Bridge after he had previously fallen out of favour.

He is one of a number of players that have been tipped to play a part next season as a result of the club’s transfer ban, but that decision will now come down to Lampard.

Derby have given him permission to talk to Chelsea, with the general consensus being that a deal could be wrapped up before the end of the week.
