Saudi Pro League welcomes French international

After N’Golo Kanté, the Saudi Pro League will have another French international in its ranks.

The French community in the Saudi championship is growing. After Benzema, Dembélé and Kanté, another Frenchman will drop off his bags in this league.

Former West Ham captain Kurt Zouma has joined promoted side Al Oroboah on loan for a season. The deal was completed on Saturday as the Saudi Pro League transfer deadline is September 7.

Saudi Arabia instead of the Emirates

The Frenchman’s contract with West Ham expires at the end of the season. Zouma joins Al Oroboah when he could have joined Shabab Al-Ahli of the United Arab Emirates. His commitment to that team was scuppered due to an unsuccessful medical.

The former Chelsea defender made 103 appearances for West Ham.
