Rio Ferdinand on Kourt Zouma
Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has insisted that Kurt Zouma has all the ingredients to be a top-class centre-back and playing alongside Antonio Rudiger could see him produce his best form for Chelsea.
"He's got physicality, pace, he's strong and aggressive, hungry, there is an intensity to his game and a desire to defend," Ferdinand told BT Sport.
"I think he's grown on Frank (Lampard), Frank's been delighted with him, even in possession, because sometimes he can look a little bit unorthodox.
"He has made occasional mistakes but as someone who is inexperienced, in terms of the amount of games he's played, that can be expected.
