Lopetegui indicated that Kurt Zouma is still in discussions for a move away from West Ham, following a recent failed medical at Al-Shabab. Despite this setback, he said, "Kurt is a fantastic person and a very good player. He is trying to choose his future." This highlights the importance of player autonomy in transfer decisions, and there’s an acknowledgment of Zouma's abilities beyond injuries. Lopetegui's respect for Zouma remains evident as he awaits the outcome of these talks.
When asked about potential new signings, Lopetegui maintained a level of discretion, stating, "I'm not going to talk about names that are not here. It's not my aim today." This reflects a coach's focus on immediate match readiness rather than speculation on transfers, even after West Ham's significant summer spending exceeding 100m, hinting at a strategic approach to shaping the squad.
