Impact Zouma's return was recently reported and Moyes didn't have much of a timeline in his update.

Transfers to West Ham Zouma signed a four-year contract with West Ham after transferring from Chelsea, the club announced Saturday.

Impact With so much depth at center back at Chelsea, Zouma was not in manager Thomas Tuchel's preferred lineup despite making 27 starts in the league and Champions League last season, and he leaves the club after seven-and-a-half years -- including a few loan spells. With 165 Premier League appearances to his name from stints with Chelsea, Stoke and Everton, the 26-year-old is likely to break into West Ham's starting XI at center back eventually if not immediately.
