Kurt Zouma set for medical as he closes in on joining Al-Orobah

3 weeks ago

West Ham defender Kurt Zouma is set to have a medical as he closes in on a move to Saudi Pro League club Al-Orobah. 

Zouma, 29, saw a move to Shabab Al Ahli fall through because of a medical issue earlier this month.

But he is finally expected to seal his departure from the London Stadium three years after joining from Chelsea in a deal worth around £30million.

The centre back has gone on to rack up 103 appearances in all competitions and was part of the West Ham side that won the Europa Conference League in 2023.

Zouma, who has one year remaining on his contract, is understood to be one of the highest earners in Julen Lopetegui's squad.

He was named club captain after Declan Rice's big-money Arsenal switch but was succeeded by Jarrod Bowen in a leadership shake-up this season.

Nayef Aguerd, meanwhile, is also the subject of offers as the club consider his sale.
