Chelsea may not be able to claim that Kurt Zouma is a product of their youth set-up, but the French youngster is quickly becoming the next big thing at Stamford Bridge. Zouma, who has only just turned 20, put in another impeccable performance during Chelsea's 2-0 victory against Newcastle on Saturday. For much of the season, the defensive partnership of Gary Cahill and Terry has provided a firm base for a Chelsea side looking to win their first Premier League title since 2010, but that was until the shock 5-3 defeat against rivals Tottenham on New Year's Day. Kurt Zouma has put in a number of impressive performances for Chelsea this season
