Kurt Zouma's representative has confirmed that the Saint-Etienne defender is wanted by clubs in France, Italy and England, but stresses there is no concrete switch looming for the 19-year-old.
Last summer's France Under-20 captain, who led the country to Under-20 World Cup success, has no shortage of suitors with a virtual who's who of European football having been linked with him at points over the last 12 months.
Indeed in June last year, Zouma's agent told his client's biggest fans, specifying Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United that they would be mad not to pay €10m to sign the stopper.

Within France meanwhile, Monaco have been leading the race after Zouma dismissed any prospect of him moving to Saint-Etienne's rivals Lyon.
