West Ham defender Kurt Zouma is due to undergo a medical soon as he looks set to move to Saudi Pro League club Al-Orobah.
Zouma, 29, saw his move to Shabab Al Ahli fall through earlier this month due to medical problems.
But he is expected to eventually seal his departure from the London Stadium, three years after joining from Chelsea in a deal worth around £30million.
The centre-back made 103 appearances in all competitions and was part of the West Ham team that won the Europa Conference League in 2023.
Zouma, who has one year left on his contract, is seen as one of the highest-earning players in Julen Lopetegui’s squad.
