In a stunning turn of events, the proposed transfer of Kurt Zouma from West Ham United to Shabab Al Ahli has imploded.
The French defender’s medical examination, the final hurdle before completing the deal, has revealed undisclosed issues.
The collapse of the move is a significant blow to both the player and the UAE club, who had pinpointed Zouma as a key addition to their squad.
Shabab Al Ahli, buoyed by the signing of Sardar Azmoun, had been aiming for a strong AFC Champions League campaign. Zouma’s absence will undoubtedly impact their transfer plans.
Meanwhile, the former Chelsea defender faces an uncertain future at West Ham, where he has fallen out of favor following the arrivals of Todibo and Killman.
