West Ham defender Kurt Zouma will undergo a medical as he moves closer to a possible move to Saudi Pro League club Al-Orobah.
Zouma, 29, saw his transfer to Shabab Al Ahli thwarted due to a medical issue earlier this month.
But he is finally expected to seal his exit from the London Stadium three years after joining from Chelsea in a deal worth around £30million.
The centre-back has amassed 103 appearances in all competitions and was part of the West Ham side that won the Europa Conference League in 2023.
Zouma, who has one year left on his contract, is considered one of the highest-earning players in Julen Lopetegui’s squad.

He was named club captain following Declan Rice’s costly move to Arsenal but was replaced by Jarrod Bowen in a leadership reshuffle this season.
Nayef Aguerd, meanwhile, is also the subject of offers as the club considers selling him.
