Chelsea Set To Apply For Agents 3m High Court Claim Relating To Kurt Zoumas Previous Move To West Ham Quash

Chelsea to Apply for Agent's £3m High Court Claim Relating to Kurt Zouma's Previous Move to West Ham Quashed

Chelsea to take legal action against agent over Kurt Zouma deal

Chelsea are set to apply to the High Court to overturn a £3million claim from an agent relating to the transfer of Kurt Zouma to West Ham. The Blues sold the defender to the Hammers in the summer of 2021 for a fee in the region of £29.8m. However, Doyen Sports, who acted as an intermediary in the deal, are claiming they are owed a significant cut of the transfer fee.

Chelsea are disputing the claim and are preparing to take legal action. The club believes that Doyen is not entitled to any money from the transfer, as they did not play a significant role in the deal.

The case is likely to be heard in the High Court in the coming months. If Chelsea are successful in their application, it will be a significant victory for the club. It would also send a message to other agents that they cannot expect to receive large sums of money for doing very little work.

Zouma has been a key player for West Ham since joining the club

Kurt Zouma has been a key player for West Ham since joining the club from Chelsea in the summer of 2021. The defender has made over 50 appearances for the Hammers and has helped them to qualify for the Europa Conference League.

Zouma has also been capped by France on several occasions. He was part of the squad that won the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Doyen Sports is a controversial agency

Doyen Sports is a controversial agency that has been involved in a number of high-profile cases. The agency has been accused of making excessive demands and of not acting in the best interests of its clients.

In 2015, Doyen Sports was fined £1.5m by FIFA for its role in the transfer of Paul Pogba from Juventus to Manchester United. The agency was found to have breached FIFA regulations by acting as an intermediary in the deal without being properly licensed.

Chelsea are confident of winning the case

Chelsea are confident of winning the case against Doyen Sports. The club believes that the agency is not entitled to any money from the transfer of Kurt Zouma.

If Chelsea are successful in their application, it will be a significant victory for the club. It would also send a message to other agents that they cannot expect to receive large sums of money for doing very little work.
