It really is a 'bit previous' to be discussing this topic, but IF all the sudden hurdles that have recently appeared are cleared in the Kurt Zouma to West Ham from Chelsea transfer, who will make way for the 26, soon to be 27 year old, in the starting line up? The current incumbents, Angelo Ogbonna and Craig Dawson, are creaking at the seams age wise, but use their experience very effectively and make up for their lack of pace by intelligent positioning.

"West Ham in race against clock to get Kurt Zouma registered in time to play Crystal Palace"

That is a rather confusing leading line, but one that the majority of news sources are 'churning out' today. Sky lead with "West Ham have until 12pm tomorrow (Friday) to get Kurt Zouma registered in time to play against Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday", that is according to Dharmesh Sheth who when speaking on Sky Sports News on Wednesday, reported that Hammers are “close to agreeing a deal” for the 26 year old Chelsea centre back.
