Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma has been linked with a shock move to Turkish Super Lig side Bursaspor.
According to the Mirror, Zouma will be leaving Chelsea once again on loan after spending this season at Stoke City. Meanwhile, Turkish outlet Milliyet has claimed that the Green Crocodiles are interested in taking the France international on loan.
Bursaspor are known for their impressive new stadium – nicknamed the Crocodile Arena – which is unsurprisingly shaped like a crocodile.

Zouma made 34 Premier League appearances for Stoke City last season but was unable to avert the Potters relegation.
Bursaspor finished the Turkish Super Lig season in 13th spot and are currently managed by Samet Aybaba.
Chelsea signed Zouma for around £12 million from Saint Etienne back in 2014. However, the powerful defender’s progress at the club was hampered after suffering a serious knee injury.
Zouma, who has five years remaining on his contract with the London based club, was not included in Didier Deschamps’ France national team squad which will travel to Russia this summer for the 2018 World Cup.
