West Ham defender Kurt Zouma has spoken for the first time since his cat abuse controversy, apologising for his mistake and saying he wants to move on from that sorry saga in his life.

It was in February when Zouma hit headlines after a video showing him kicking and slapping his pet went viral. West Ham condemned his actions at the time and fined him two weeks' wages worth £250,000.

Speaking on Friday, Zouma said: 'It's been a difficult spell for me and my family. I have done something very bad and I apologise again for what I've done.
