France centre back Kurt Zouma has left Chelsea for fellow Premier League side Everton on loan.

The 23-year-old joins the Toffees on a season-long loan deal from Everton.

The Merseyside club made a late move for Zouma on deadline day (Thursday) and had to wait until Friday to find out if their bid was successful.

Kurt Zouma has made 71 appearances since signing for the Stamford Bridge outfit from French Ligue 1 side Saint Etienne in 2014 and spent last season on loan at Stoke City.

The two-cap French international becomes the club’s eighth summer signing following the likes of Yerry Mina, Andre Gomes, Bernard, Richarlison, Joao Virginia and Lucas Digne.
