Chelsea and Liverpool linked with talented defender
According to TBR Football, both of the Premier League giants had scouts watch Zeze in the recent days. The French youngster could cost £17 million and both clubs can easily manage to pay that kind of money.
Firstly, Liverpool are keen to sign a young defender as long term replacement for Virgil van Dijk. Van Dijk is nearing the end of his career and this is a perfect time to find his successor.
Lastly, Chelsea are desperate to sign a new defender as they have failed to keep clean sheets. They are also linked with many other names but may find Zeze impressive due to his age. The Blues have adapted a new system of recruiting young talents and making them ready for future.
