Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has reportedly contacted the incoming Chelsea boss Antonio Conte over the sale of Kurt Zouma.
The French center-back hasn’t been able to feature for the Blues since February when he suffered a nasty ACL injury in a Premier League game against Manchester United, ruling the player out for the rest of the season.

Wenger wanting to sign the 21-year-old would be slightly unexpected move to happen, as Chelsea are unlikely to sell a young international player like Zouma to a rival club, if any club.
Unarguably Zouma – who scored the winning goal against Arsenal in a 2-0 victory over the London rivals at Stamford Bridge last season – would definetly fit into the Gunners’ back four, but Chelsea’s interest on selling is very unprobable at present.
The Blues are keen to bolster their defence for next season as Antonio Conte is targeting many quality center halves with the likes of Leonardo Bonucci, Kalidou Koulibaly and John Stones.
