Kurt Zouma wages not causing unrest at West Ham
There is no unrest in any shape at West Ham with regards to the wages Kurt Zouma is on, according to a report in Claret & Hugh.
On Tuesday evening, The Sun shared an article stating that Zouma’s wages had caused unrest among the tight-knit group David Moyes has at the London Stadium.
The media outlet have now added a new story on the same link, but per the C&H report, there is nothing credible to that development.
The report reads, “Kurt Zouma’s wages are not causing unrest at West Ham.
“Club insiders have confirmed to ClaretandHugh that Zouma’s salary does not break the current wage structure at the London Stadium.
“Being a former Chelsea player and an International for France he does command a six-figure weekly salary but not as much as figures (£125,000-per-week) previously reported.”
Major relief
The last thing West Ham fans would’ve wanted was for there to be a rift between Zouma and some of the key figures inside the club’s dressing room.
The Frenchman’s signing was lauded by fans, but if The Sun’s report was to be taken at face value, was not welcomed by the players at the club.
Thankfully, none of that is true and neither is the fact that his wages have broken the wage structure at the London Stadium.
West Ham pride themselves on not overpaying their players and last season proved that they can deliver the results even if it is a tight ship financially.
David Moyes has clearly made this side punch above its weight and we cannot wait to see how the new signings fit into his system.
Zouma should be in line to start this weekend against Southampton and he should make this Hammers defence harder to break down.
