West Ham United could have Kurt Zouma signed and sealed before their game against Crystal Palace at the weekend, The Sun say.

Move pending

David Moyes is apparently hoping to snap up the Chelsea defender before the weekend and have him registered for the game.

That means that Zouma could make his debut for West Ham on Saturday, although it remains to be seen if Moyes will throw him straight in.

The report says that Moyes has been desperate to add a top class central defender to his side.

And Zouma will immediately become West Ham’s top paid player when he does put pen to paper on his contract.

It seems only a matter of time before Zouma steps into West Ham’s defence.

Will Moyes change a winning team?

However, whether Moyes will want to change a winning team remains to be seen.

The Hammers have been in flying form this season and sit right at the top of the league.

West Ham have steamrolled past Newcastle United and Leicester City in fine fashion in their last two matches.

Moyes’ men go into their game against Palace as heavy favourites, and if they have Zouma at the back, they could become even harder to beat.
