Zouma, the failed signing for Sevilla and the abuse of his cat

Kurt Zouma disembarks at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan months after refusing to enter in the operation that would have brought Jules Koundé to Chelsea. The West Ham centre-back preferred to stay in London and that is why he accepted the offer from the hammers, who also proposed a higher salary, already 27 years old is once again one of the most valued defenders in the Premier League. It would not have been a bad thing for a Sevilla that is having injury problems at the back.

Zouma is a regular with David Moyes. He has played 20 games this season, in which he has scored a goal, and that was more than a month absent between December and January for a muscle problem. His forcefulness and aggressiveness make him a defender that is difficult to beat and justify the more than 30 million euros that the West Ham decided to payr for him.

In recent weeks, however, the French he has been in the eye of the hurricane for kicking and slapping his cat. Zouma also threw a slipper at one of his pets, action that earned him rejection of much of the football mass of England. The Watford fans reprimanded him with a chant when he was fouled: “This is how your cat feels,” the Hornets sang. and the one of Liverpool received him with the banner ‘Cat lives matter’.

Their apology and regret in a statement they did not prevent many English from crying out against him. A petition on the Change.org platform, carried out by the association against animal violence Anti Animal Abuse, brought together more than 100,000 signatures to demand that Zouma be brought to justice. Finally, He received a penalty of 300,000 euros.
