Recently, Sky Sports Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg posted a compelling story revealing that West Ham United defender Zouma has hit an unexpected roadblock in his transfer to Dubai Young Nationals. Despite the fact that the transfer was close to being finalized, Zouma's medical examination turned out to be surprisingly faulty, an unforeseen circumstance that immediately threw the entire transfer process into uncertainty.
According to initial reports from local UAE media outlet UAE Kick, Zouma's expected signing ceremony has been canceled due to a failed medical and he has stayed in the UAE instead of returning to England as expected. The news has undoubtedly caused a lot of problems for both clubs, especially Dubai Young Nationals, who had hoped that the experienced center-back would be able to strengthen their defense.
However, a subsequent update from Sky Sports Germany's Florian Plettenberg contradicts the previous report slightly. He pointed out that while there were indeed problems with Zouma's medical, he himself is still in the UAE, has not returned to the UK immediately, and is still on the ground in close connection with the transfer. This information suggests that despite the challenges, both clubs have not completely given up on their efforts and are still actively seeking a solution.
It is understood that a regular communication mechanism has been put in place between West Ham United and Dubai Young Nationals and the two sides are in intense discussions to overcome this obstacle in order to finalize the deal. It has certainly been a period of waiting and uncertainty for the 29-year-old Zouma, but he is also patiently waiting for the next steps to be arranged in the hope of resolving this thorny issue as soon as possible.
