Chelsea defender, Kurt Zouma, has hailed fellow teammate, Fikayo Tomori as a \u201cvery talented\u201d player ahead of the Blues\u2019 UEFA Champions League clash with Ajax at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

According to Zouma, the 21-year-old has pace, can defend very well and even on one-on-ones he doesn\u2019t get beaten.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the Evening Standard, Zouma said: \u201cI am chatting a lot with Fikayo. We are both young but we also have [Cesar] Azpi[licueta] on one side, Marcos [Alonso] too and Jorginho in front of us and they are experienced.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing is, the age doesn\u2019t matter. You can see, you can play well. We talk a lot and it is all about communication. He [Tomori] is very talented. He got his first call-up in the last few weeks and he deserved it.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can see the way he plays, he is very comfortable with the ball and without it, he has got pace and can defend very well, even on one-on-ones he doesn\u2019t get beaten.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is a very good player for us. Like everyone, he is working hard because the competition is hard. We just want to be on the pitch doing well.\u201d<\/p>\n

The kick-off time for the match is 9pm.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
