Kurt Zouma Continues as West Ham Captain
Leadership Void Post-Declan Rice Exit After the departure of Declan Rice in the summer, West Ham found themselves in need of a new team captain. While experienced players like Tomas Soucek and Aaron Cresswell were considered candidates for the role, no official announcement was made.
Zouma Leads the Team In the absence of an official replacement, Kurt Zouma, aged 28, has taken on the captain’s armband and led the team in their first four Premier League matches of the season. Despite facing severe criticism off the field due to a highly publicized incident in which he was filmed mistreating his cat in February 2022, Zouma has continued to perform well on the pitch.
Manager’s Confirmation Manager David Moyes has confirmed that Zouma will continue as the captain of West Ham. Moyes praised Zouma’s performance in the role, highlighting the team’s three wins and one draw in their opening four games of the season.
Tough Schedule Moyes acknowledged the challenging schedule that West Ham has faced, with three of their first four games being played away from home. Despite this, the team has managed to secure points and display an ability to score goals, giving them a positive start to the season. Moyes expressed optimism that this goal-scoring form would continue, allowing the team to accumulate more points in the future.
