West Ham United allegedly could be open to selling Kurt Zouma when the January transfer window opens.

According to Football Insider, West Ham may be willing to sell centre-back Kurt Zouma either in January or next summer.

Zouma has gone on to establish himself as a key player for West Ham, but a concerning recent report claimed that there is interest in his services coming from Saudi Arabia ahead of the January transfer window.

So could the Hammers really be open to selling the Frenchman?

West Ham open to selling Kurt Zouma

Football Insider reckon that the Hammers may be open to letting the former Chelsea defender go for as little as £25 million – a £5 million loss on what we paid for him just over two years ago.

What an absolute load of waffle that is.

Zouma is one of the most important players David Moyes has at his disposal at the London Stadium and there is absolutely no way the owners would consider selling him for anything less than a huge profit.

The 28-year-old is pivotal to everything good that we do, and without him we would be a far weaker team.

Kurt Zouma is also the club captain at West Ham, let’s not forget that. He is the best defender at the London Stadium by a very long way.

And if he does leave in January or next summer, I would be hugely surprised if it’s for anything less than £40 million.
