Kurt Zouma, a defender for West Ham United, is reportedly looking to be let go as manager Julen Lopetegui revamps the defence. ExWHUemployee has reportedly stated:
“There has been talks of Saudi interest and sources are suggesting he has been urged to look for a move either there or elsewhere.“Zouma’s contract is currently up at the end of the season and he has been struggling more and more with his knees. Manager Julen Lopetegui expressed his concerns with the teams defending and whilst Zouma wasn’t involved in the Crystal Palace game, it is felt his wages could be spent elsewhere on a new defender.
Due to his string of injuries, the French defender has dropped in the London Stadium’s hierarchy. The club is aggressively seeking alternative defensive options, such Logan Costa, so it looks like Zouma’s future at West Ham is becoming less assured. With one more year on his deal, the 29-year-old is reportedly open to bids from other teams.
Despite being a consistent member of the West Ham squad in many years, Zouma may be leaving the team in order to make room for a younger, more dynamic backline.
