SHOCK amidst transfer news, as West Ham top player is ready to leave the club… The interested club has been REVEALED.

West Ham United defender Kurt Zouma is likely to leave the club this summer, with Emirati side Shabab Al-Ahli leading the race to sign him. According to Foot Mercato journalist Santi Aouna, Shabab Al-Ahli is ahead of other interested clubs in Saudi Arabia.

Zouma’s departure seems inevitable, given the arrival of Max Kilman and the potential signing of another centre-back. Julen Lopetegui’s summer overhaul appears to have made Zouma surplus to requirements.

A move to the Middle East would be financially appealing to Zouma, and West Ham could recoup a significant portion of the £29.8 million they paid for him in 2021. Jean-Clair Todibo has also been linked to West Ham, further indicating that Zouma’s time at the club is coming to an end.

While Shabab Al-Ahli’s bid for Zouma may not be certain, it is clear that the Frenchman is set to leave West Ham by the start of next season, and the club will not stand in his way.
