Kurt Zouma has firmly set his sights on retaining his spot in Chelsea’s starting XI, despite the presence of club legend John Terry. The 20-year-old central defender, who has been in strong form for the Blues, made it clear that he’s determined to keep his place, even though Terry, at 35, remains an iconic figure at Stamford Bridge.
In an interview with **Téléfoot**, Zouma said: *”I want to continue playing and keep my place. We know that places are expensive, you have to work hard to keep it and that’s what I’m doing. It’s really a big club, it’s the one I’ve always dreamed of. I hope to continue here for a very, very long time.”*
While Terry is gradually nearing the end of his illustrious career, Zouma sees this as an opportunity to establish himself as Chelsea’s future in defense. The young Frenchman, of Central African descent, has shown his quality and determination on the pitch, and it’s clear he isn’t willing to give up his starting position without a fight. It seems like the young defender has a bright future at Stamford Bridge ahead of him, and he’s committed to making the most of his opportunity.
