5 players who could replace John Terry at Chelsea in the long run

#2 Kurt Zouma

Kurt Zouma has already proved his mettle in the blue of Chelsea

Injuries can be cruel to players, especially youngsters who are just making a name for themselves. Kurt Zouma suffered a season-ending injury last season and just came back from that layoff a few months back when Chelsea had already started playing their best football with Luiz, Azpilicueta and Cahill at the back.

The young Frenchman has struggled for playing time this season but we all know about his qualities and huge potential. And it is expected that Conte would give the 22-year-old a chance to prove himself next season.

Zouma is extremely fast for a central defender and has good abilities on the ball. He would do really well in Conte’s 3-man defence with his all-round defensive abilities.
