Zouma confirmed to West Ham that he would prefer a move to Dubai and he is now set to undergo a medical with his new club before the move is finalised.
HITC can confirm that West Ham are not set to receive any fee for the former Chelsea defender, with both clubs agreeing to a free transfer.
Shabab Al-Alhi are set to take on the final year of his contract, with his salary at the London Stadium well over £100,000 per week.
Zouma was initially offered to Nice as part of the proposed deal for Jean-Clair Todibo, but the Ligue 1 side were not willing to match his wages.
With Zouma soon to be cleared off the club’s wage bill, West Ham have more flexibility for new arrivals.
The Hammers remain in talks with Manchester United and have agreed terms with Aaron Wan Bissaka but a deal remains incomplete.
