The Saint-Etienne youngster has attracted a lot of interest from a host of English clubs and is believed to be a target for Queens Park http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314
The Frenchman has established himself as a first-team regular for Christophe Galtier’s side and has earned massive praise from pundits and fans.
His impressive performances haven’t gone unnoticed and several clubs from the Premier League are keeping a close eye on the youngster.
Reports claim that Mark Hughes’ QPR are interested in bringing the centre-back to Loftus Road and are reportedly readying a bid for the 17-year-old.
The London club has recruited a number of players this season as they seek to ensure their survival in the top flight, and the gaffer is now looking to add Zouma to his already bulging squad.
According to reports, the 17-year-old’s agent has held talks with the Hoops and now the two clubs are reportedly in discussions regarding Zouma’s potential move to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749.
However, AS Saint-Etienne have denied receiving any offer for the youngster. And the chairman of the French club has warned the suitors that they won’t sell Zouma on cheap and any deal for the youngster will be costly.
Roland Romeyer stressed that the club has not received any offer for the Frenchman from any club and reports regarding player's potential move to the Premier League hold no truth.
"Currently I have received no offers for Zouma or for any other player," Romeyer told L'Equipe.
Despite being only 17, Kurt Zouma is already a regular starter at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard, and Les Verts do not want to part ways with the young prodigy.
Romeyer added that the defender is a huge part of their plans and Saint-Etienne are not in the mood to sell him.
"He is worth more than 12 million Euros; there will be no cheap deal. We need Zouma this season.”
However, the club chairman admitted that in football, anything is possible, and a good offer could tempt the Ligue 1 outfit to part ways with the 17-year-old centre-back.
"Is he un-transferable?  That doesn't mean anything in football. I don't know what could happen. There are offers impossible to refuse."
Kurt Zouma managed to make 22 appearances in the 2011/2012 Ligue 1 campaign, scoring couple of goals in the process.
