West Ham defender Zouma set for medical before Saudi move

West Ham defender Kurt Zouma is set to undergo a medical as he nears a transfer to Saudi Pro League club Al-Orouba.

Earlier this summer, Zouma had agreed to a move to the United Arab Emirates, but the deal fell through after he failed the medical examination.

The Hammers allowed the 29-year-old to remain in the region to pursue alternative opportunities.

While the exact terms of the transfer are still being finalized, Zouma will undergo a medical, and if cleared, the move will be completed.

The French defender has made 103 appearances for West Ham since his £29 million transfer from Chelsea in 2021.

Zouma played in West Ham’s 2023 Europa Conference League final victory over Fiorentina and was appointed club captain for the 2023-24 season following Declan Rice’s transfer to Arsenal.
