Defenders For Sale

Andreas Christensen and Kurt Zouma

Kurt Zouma – £25m – Everton and Roma are believed to be interested in the France international, who is said to be one of the players manager Thomas Tuchel is open to selling.

Emerson Palmieri – £17m – Napoli are thought to be the team most interested in the Italian but they are reluctant to meet Chelsea’s €20m (£17m) asking price. We shall see if that changes.

David Zappacosta – £7m – We are basing the Italian’s valuation on his Transfermarkt value as there is no other data but, after a successful season with Genoa, he could be offloaded for a higher amount.

Total:  £49m
