Crystal Palace have recently approached Chelsea regarding defender Kurt Zouma, according to journalist Julien Maynard.  

And, as to be expected, a number of Palace fans have been reacting to the links on social media.

New Palace boss Patrick Vieira has already brought in two central defenders this summer.

Marc Guehi arrived from Chelsea on a five-year deal earlier this month and Joachim Andersen also penned a five-year contract at Selhurst Park on Wednesday.

The two deals appear to have cost Palace £36.75m in total, but it seems as if they have inquired about Zouma as well.

Zouma, on £46,000-a-week at Stamford Bridge, may be used by Chelsea in their attempts to sign Sevilla’s Jules Kounde.

Maynard, reporter for French outlet Telefoot, claims Zouma is yet to speak with either club, adding that Palace inquired about the defender's situation recently.

Palace fans react

@cpfc_xtra shared Maynard’s tweet on Wednesday afternoon. This is what these Palace supporters had to say in reply, with one believing he is ‘miles clear of Andersen’, with another calling Zouma a ‘beast’.
