Chelsea bid to sign Jules Kounde from Sevilla has taken a hit due to Kurt Zouma's preferences, as per Sky Sports.
Sevilla wants cash plus Zouma for the transfer of Kounde, a deal Chelsea is willing to make.
However, Zouma isn't interested in moving to Spain as he prefers to stay in London.
The deal involving Zouma would cost Chelsea a reported £50, but without Zouma the fee would be considerably higher hence the entire transfer is likely to hit a watershed.
Uf Chelsea decides to proceed with the transfer, the Blues may offer someone else instead or pay more for Kounde - as much as £80m.
Meanwhile, West Ham are also said to be targeting Zouma.
