Impact Zouma has not agreed on a new deal with West Ham, which will likely see him depart from the club.

West Ham is set to go with Max Kilman and Konstantinos Mavropanos as the back line pairing for the opener against Aston Villa.
AUGUST 15 • ROTOWIRE
Another season as a regular starter Zouma appeared in 33 games (32 starts), registering three goals on 16 shots to go along with 13 tackles, 29 interceptions and 158 clearances.
Impact Zouma started the season in and out of the starting XI due to injury complications but wasted no time getting his season on track once healthy, as he would maintain a starting role all season. It was one of his better seasons, as his three goals were the most since the 2020/21 campaign, and his 158 clearances were his best since the 2017/18 season. He has one year left on his contract and will likely remain a hammer, although there were rumors of a possible transfer at the beginning of the campaign.

Impact Zouma continues to work on his recovery from a knee injury, and any time in training is a good sign of that recovery.

Impact Zouma has been a regular for West Ham at the back, but his fitness levels are beginning to look like a concern since he's already missed three Premier League matches since the start of November due to injuries. Knee injuries can be quite complicated if not handled properly, so expect the Hammers to take a cautious approach with Zouma. If he can't go, then Konstantinos Maprovanos and Thilo Kehrer are options to play at center-back, though Nayef Aguerd (illness) could also return to the side after missing the win over Arsenal on Thursday.

Impact Zouma should be back in contention for the starting XI after having dealt with a home invasion during the previous week. While Zouma isn't much of an attacking threat, he has just seven shots (four on target) in 12 appearances, he should rack up plenty of clearances as he is currently averaging 5.3 per match.

Dealing with burglary Zouma's house was burgled, which saw him sit out from Sunday's draw with Crystal Palace.
Impact Zouma's personal matter was announced Monday, and shouldn't prove to be a long-term issue for the defender. If Zouma is able to return he would likely see Konstantinos Mavropanos fall back to the bench for Thursday's trip to Tottenham.
