Julen Lopetegui has reportedly informed Kurt Zouma he has no future at West Ham.
After starting in 32 Premier League games, the 29-year-old, who also captains the side, featured heavily last season.
However, the defender’s time in London appears to be ending with HITC recently reporting talks with clubs in Saudi Arabia’s Pro League have advanced quickly.
Kurt Zouma set for Saudi move
Although the identity of the Saudi club has not been confirmed, the Frenchman is believed to be a long-standing target for Al-Qadsiah. The Middle Eastern club attempted to sign Zouma last year but came up short after the defender refused the move.
Things look to be playing out differently this summer though with the centre-back already scheduled to have a medical.
Former Borussia Dortmund centre-back, now free-agent, Mats Hummels, is reportedly a target for Lopetegui, and if the German gives the green light, would be expected to replace the outgoing Zouma.
During his three years at the London Stadium, Zouma, who has 12 months left on his contract, has directly contributed to seven goals in 103 games in all competitions.
It’s sad to see zouma leaving but it’s a case of he’s got to go moving to the Saudi league may extend his career the warm climate should make him more mobile we all know just how the British weather can impact people’s ability he gave his all for us and he will be remembered for that good luck to him and all the best for the future
So this aging squad the moyes haters kept referring too, is getting incredibly more aging under Flopetegui. The bloke is a clown. Foderingham, Fulkrug, and now Hummels, care home at its finest. LOPETEGUI OUT.
You’re unbelievable mate. Get behind the team. Best squad for year
Hope there no cats in Saudi arabi but good luck to him osr to palace wolves writing is on the wall already moyes was a great manager he proved it we won a trophy 4 years in Europe I shake my head in disbelief championship here we go Jo Jo time again
