Kurt Zouma’s proposed move United Arab Emirates side Shabab Al-Ahli has collapsed after the West Ham defender failed a medical.

Zouma had travelled to Dubai to complete a lucrative deal but his advisors are now trying to work out an alternative option.

The former Chelsea star still has a year left on his Hammers contract but the club has already brought in another central defender in Jean-Clair Todibo from Nice on a loan deal that includes a €40m (£34.22m) obligation to buy.

In addition, West Ham paid Wolves £40m for skipper Max Kilman last month.
