Kurt Zouma will complete West Ham medical on Wednesday – report
Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma will complete his West Ham United medical on Wednesday, according to Julien Maynard.
The journalist has shared that the major signing has accelerated massively on Tuesday, and should be completed imminently.
Zouma is set to put pen-to-paper on a five-year deal at the London Stadium before the August deadline.
Writing on his personal Twitter account on Tuesday afternoon, Maynard shared the major update everyone has been waiting for.
“Agreement found at the moment between Chelsea, West Ham and Kurt Zouma,” he wrote.
“Everything has accelerated today. The French defender will join the Hammers against £26.7million, for 5 years. Medical visit being organized. It will probably take place tomorrow.”
Finally.
If everything is confirmed and the medical is set place for tomorrow, it could be announced in the next 24 hours.
Zouma will not need to relocate, and he can be at Rush Green first thing in the morning to get his medicals done and fine print sorted.
It hasn’t surprised us just how long it has taken to get this one over the line, but it will be our first major signing in almost a year.
Sebastien Haller has left for big money since, and that finally looks set to be put to good use in this market as time runs out quickly.
Thankfully, Zouma has finally seen the light and the demands have been met, lets get this one announced as soon as possible.
