Is Silva still holding out hope for Zouma?

Some sources suspect that Marco Silva and Marcel Brands are still holding out hope for Kurt Zouma's return to Everton on a permanent deal.

This would seem to run contrary to all the noises coming out of the Chelsea camp since new manager, Frank Lampard, confirmed his desire for Zouma to remain a Chelsea player.

Everton are still in contact with Chelsea over a possible deal for Kurt Zouma but are looking at alternatives in case the Londoners dig their heels in and refuse to sell him this summer.

Paul Joyce from The Times has tweeted that a centre-back is the next priority for Marcel Brands and Marco Silva, followed by a winger and a right-back, the last position believed to be a loan acquisition rather than an outright purchase.
