Kurt Zouma captained West Ham last season West Ham defender Kurt Zouma has completed a move to Saudi Pro League club Al-Orobah on loan. The 29-year-old captained the Hammers during the 2023-24 season, taking the armband after Declan Rice's departure to Arsenal. France defender Zouma has made 103 appearances after joining from Chelsea in a £29m deal in 2021. While the Premier League's transfer deadline day was on Friday, the Saudi Arabian window remains open until 7 September. Earlier this summer, Zouma agreed a move to Shabab Al-Ahli in the United Arab Emirates, but that transfer collapsed when he failed a medical. However, with a year left on his Hammers contract, the Londoners let him stay in the region to secure another deal and his exit has now been confirmed.
