Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma is undergoing his medical ahead of his move to West Ham United this month.

The Hammers agreed a deal worth £25m for the Frenchman earlier this week, but it was recently claimed that the move could break down.

The concern was related to the player's agents. It has now been sorted and the centre-back is undergoing his medical in Paris.

It appears unlikely that the centre-back will be available for the weekend's game. He could join his new teammates after the break.

Zouma has been called up by France for the upcoming internationals. He is already in Paris and should travel to Claire Fontaine soon.

Meanwhile, the Blues are expected to sign Jules Kounde from Sevilla. They are likely to pay an initial fee of around £43 million.

Sevilla were eyeing a much higher figure earlier this summer, but they have opted to approve the transfer with Kounde keen to leave.
