Agents holding up Kurt Zouma move to West Ham
Agents are reportedly delaying the process of West Ham signing French defender Kurt Zouma from Chelsea this summer.
According to ExWHUemployee, agents are haggling over the personal terms as the Hammers are closing in on completing a move for the 26-year-old.
However, he claims the deal is still on and West Ham aim to sign the France international soon.
On his Patreon page, the reliable Hammers insider wrote, “Agents are apparently still haggling over some of the personal terms in the deal.
“The agent issues are apparently easy to sort out and the deal is still very much on. The club hope to get deal completed soon.”
Nervy situations
The Hammers encountered something similar in terms of the Nikola Milenkovic pursuit, but Ex has himself said in the update that they’re in more advanced talks with him than they ever were with the Serbian.
That said, until he doesn’t sign the dotted line, one should not be assured of this one going ahead.
Time and again the board has messed up negotiations despite them reaching extremely advanced stages.
The club may give Zouma a decent salary as he’s coming to the London Stadium with his best years ahead of him.
He’s also a full international, is experienced in the Premier League and has won plenty of silverware in his career.
Need this one done soon as the London outfit are still in the hunt for a striker.
