Premier League side Newcastle United are reportedly weighing up a move for experienced French defender Kurt Zouma in the current transfer window.
Zouma is currently a free agent after recently parting ways with Romanian club CFR Cluj. His spell in Romania was brief, as he made just four appearances before his departure, leaving him available for a potential return to England.
Amid growing injury concerns, , the Magpies has reportedly set sights on securing the signature of Zouma in an attempt to address mounting problems in their squad.
With defensive options stretched thin, Zouma has emerged as a practical short-term solution, with discussions centering on a deal that would keep him at St James’ Park until the end of the current season.
Newcastle’s interest is driven largely by the need for immediate cover and experience at the back, qualities Zouma possesses in abundance. The Frenchman has spent more than a decade in the Premier League, featuring for Chelsea, Stoke City, Everton, and West Ham United, and is well accustomed to the physical demands and intensity of English football.
With Newcastle seeking stability and leadership during a challenging period, Zouma’s experience and familiarity with the league could make him an attractive option as the club looks to steady the ship for the remainder of the season.
