“I don’t think a club could have taken action any quicker than they’ve done at the moment. West Ham have done a really good job” says David Moyes on Kurt Zouma’s case.

According to Moyes, Zouma would be on West Ham’s squad against Leicester on Sunday.
This decision comes despite the huge backlash the player is currently facing for kicking his cat.
Zouma’s cats have been possessed by the RSPCA, while investigations are ongoing.
However, WestHam boss Moyes, has also come under fire for choosing to play Zouma after the video surfaced.
According to Moyes, “there are different views whether he should be available. We decided he should. I stand by that,
“I’m not condoning him, his actions were terrible. They were diabolical but we’ve chosen to play him and we stand by that.
“We will get him some help. We are trying to do as much as we can as a club, as a team, to help him.
Zouma’s Current State
Zouma has since been given the maximum amount of fine possible by the Hammers, and the fee would be donated to animal welfare charities.
“I’ve never had [an incident] like this. As a football manager it shows you never know what you’re going to get.
“He’s incredibly remorseful. Like everybody else, in life sometimes you need a bit of forgiveness. He’s hoping he is forgiven for a bad action” added Moyes.
“That’s part of being in this job. We’d rather we weren’t making news. West Ham have made really, really good news in the last two years.
“We’ve been a really good side. I’m sad the focus has been taken away from what is, at the moment, a really good season.”
