Kurt Zouma: West Ham defender to have medical before Saudi move
West Ham defender Kurt Zouma is set to undergo a medical as he closes in on a move to Saudi Pro-League club Al-Orouba.
Zouma had agreed a move to the United Arab Emirates earlier this summer but that deal collapsed after Zouma failed a medical.
The Hammers gave permission for the 29-year-old to remain in the region in an attempt to secure another deal.
The precise terms of the switch are still being worked out but Zouma will have a medical and, providing he is given clearance, will complete the move.
France defender Zouma has made 103 appearances for the Hammers since joining from Chelsea in a £29m deal in 2021.
He started their 2023 Europa Conference League final victory over Fiorentina and was named club captain during the 2023-24 campaign following Declan Rice’s move to Arsenal.
