Kurt Zouma’s brother, Yoan, suspended by Dagenham & Redbridge for filming cat-attack video

Kurt Zouma’s brother, Yoan, has been suspended by Dagenham & Redbridge for filming the sickening cat-attack video.

Kurt has been fined £250,000 by West Ham while his two pet cats have been seized by the RSPCA after Yoan filmed his brother drop-kicking and slapping the animal.

Kurt has also lost out on his personal sponsorship with Adidas, who terminated its deal with the French defender on Wednesday.

Yoan, meanwhile, joined National League side Dagenham & Redbridge in December and has made six appearances for the club.

However, they have now confirmed that Yoan will no longer represent them while the RSPCA’s investigation is ongoing.

A statement from Dagenham & Redbridge read: ‘The club would like to give a further update on its player, Yoan Zouma.

‘Yoan was this week contacted by the RSPCA to assist in their investigation and is fully cooperating with them.

‘However, Dagenham & Redbridge FC would again like to reiterate that it condemns any form of cruelty towards animals and fully understands the reaction of many of its supporters.

‘The club has therefore decided that until the RSPCA has completed its investigations, Yoan will not play for Dagenham & Redbridge in any competitive match.

‘Any further action deemed necessary to be taken will be made at the conclusion of the RSPCA investigation.’
