Lazio are eyeing a move for Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma in January, according to Italian daily Corriere dello Sport.
The centre-back, whose present deal with the Blues runs until 2019, could join the Italian outfit on a loan deal during the winter transfer window.
Zouma’s future at Chelsea is in doubt, following the sacking of Jose Mourinho, who signed the 21-year-old from Saint-Etienne in January 2014.
The youngster spent the rest of the 2013/14 campaign on loan with the French team before returning to Chelsea at the start of the 2014/15 season.
Zouma has featured heavily for the Premier League champions in the current campaign, making 24 appearances in all competitions, scoring twice.

The defender has two senior caps for France to his name, and has also represented the nation at various youth levels.
Zouma, who played the full 90 minutes of the 3-1 win over Sunderland last weekend, has thus far clocked up 50 appearances for Chelsea, scoring four times.
He is a product of Saint-Etienne’s youth set-up and made his first team debut for the club in 2011.
