Kurt Zouma is a ‘fantastic guy’ who ‘brings everyone together’ and West Ham United is the perfect move for him.

That’s according to inside man at Chelsea and YouTube star Zac Djellab who has told Sky Sports News (Friday 9.30am) he will be sad to see Zouma leave for West Ham.

According to widespread reports, West Ham are set to complete the £25 million signing of the France international from Chelsea.

Zouma had a West Ham medical in Paris – where he is currently on compassionate leave – on Thursday.

The report from that medical will be assessed in London before the signing is completed, although Zouma is not expected to link up with West Ham until after the international break if he does join.

David Moyes has an excellent record in the transfer market since taking full control of recruitment on his return to West Ham. And Zouma is said to have been his prime defensive target all summer.

But some West Ham fans have questioned the potential signing after reports Zouma will become the club’s current highest paid player on around £120k per week.

But Football Daily’s Zac Djellab, a Chelsea TV presenter who knows Zouma well, says he will be sad to see the 26-year-old centre-back leave in what he regards a ‘perfect’ move to West Ham.

“I’m quite sad with Kurt because Kurt I think brings all the players together,” Djellab told Sky Sports.

“I’m lucky enough to speak to him and he’s a fantastic guy who is really funny as well.

“But he must look at it at the same time and say ‘Look I want to be playing football’. And currently Trevoh Chalobah is ahead of him by the looks of it in the pecking order. And Trevoh didn’t even start against Arsenal. 

“So for him looking at that must want to maybe move on for his game time.

“Maybe wants to stay in London for his family as well. I think it will be a perfect move to West Ham, I think both parties, Chelsea and West Ham would be pretty happy with the deal.”
