Kurt Zouma is poised to finalize a transfer to Saudi Pro League club Al-Orouba, with a medical scheduled soon. Previously, a move to a UAE club fell through due to a failed medical, but West Ham granted Zouma permission to stay in the region to pursue new opportunities. Having joined West Ham from Chelsea in 2021 for £29 million, Zouma has made 103 appearances and played a vital role in the club's 2023 Europa Conference League victory. He was also named club captain following Declan Rice's departure to Arsenal. The terms of the transfer are still being finalized, but it appears Zouma's exit from West Ham is imminent as they undergo a summer rebuild under new management. Al-Orouba, recently promoted to the Saudi Pro League, views Zouma's potential signing as a significant statement of intent.
