West Ham vice-chairman Karren Brady today claimed Kurt Zouma has 'no defence' for kicking his cat before insisting the footballer is 'extremely remorseful'.
Baroness Brady, 52, claimed Zouma is on a 'journey of re-education and atonement' after he was filmed kicking his terrified cat in footage posted to Snapchat by his brother Yoan.
The 27-year-old was fined two weeks' wages, worth £250,000, which the club claim will be donated to animal charities.
The club's manager David Moyes also suggested Zouma would be given animal welfare lessons by the RSPCA.
