Director of Football Marcel Brands has been dealt a double setback in the summer transfer market, as the Evening Standard understand Chelsea will not consider selling Kurt Zouma, while Tammy Abraham has rejected our advances. The Chelsea-owned duo, along with Ola Aina, are the only players Blues boss Maurizio Sarri is thought to be considering for his plans ahead of next season, despite the Stamford Bridge outfit offloading 41 players on temporary deals at some stage of the 2018/19 campaign. Brands, and boss Marco Silva, had hoped to convince the South West London side to sell Zouma to us on the back of an impressive season at Goodison Park, but a deal now seems impossible with Sarri set to offer the 24-year-old a role. –

Lot of work to be done, if we've been relying on those 2 signings.
Hopefully we have other plans.

Everton want to sign Kurt Zouma on a permanent deal from Chelsea this summer and have entered talks with their Premier League rivals, claims The Daily Telegraph. Marco Silva’s side agreed a €25m fee with Barcelona for Andre Gomes on Thursday and are now looking to targeting Zouma’s arrival.
Both players spent last season on loan at Goodison Park and Everton want to make their deals permanent before looking at strengthening elsewhere.
One stumbling block Everton need to overcome is convincing Chelsea to part ways with Zouma when they might have to start their FIFA-imposed transfer ban this summer.

Reports that Kurt Zouma is to hand in a transfer request in order to force a move from Chelsea to Everton has been quashed by Sky Sports News. Speculation on some of the newspaper sites like The Mirror and Mail Sport had it that the Frenchman was going to increase the pressure on the London club to sell him in the face of intensifying efforts from the Blues to acquire him on a permanent basis.
Sky Sports News say they "understand" that the reports are "wide of the mark".
