Kurt Zouma has been speaking about how much he has been supported at West Ham over the past couple of years.
West Ham signed Kurt Zouma from Chelsea in the summer of 2021 for around £30 million (The Daily Mail).

The 28-year-old has proven to be an excellent signing from Hammers boss David Moyes, but his time at the London Stadium has not passed without controversy.
In February 2022 news broke of the now infamous cat-kicking scandal which rocked the club to the core.
However, Moyes backed the Frenchman, starting him immediately after the scandal emerged, and then went on to make him club captain at the start of this season.
The former Chelsea man has thrived with the added responsibility, and is repaying the faith shown in him by the Scot…
Kurt Zouma says we have an absolute legend at West Ham
The Frenchman has been speaking very highly indeed of his manager.
Zouma labelled Moyes as a legend when speaking to reporters, as quoted by Irish News:
“It’s a huge honour and a privilege for me to be captain. It’s an amazing club and I’m just so proud. The manager has done an amazing job. He’s a legend here. We won a trophy last year and that was a top achievement. And for me personally he has been helping me in every aspect, with my game and outside of football he has been supporting me throughout everything, and I just can’t thank him enough for what he’s done for me and I try to give it back on the pitch. That’s my way, on the pitch. Everything he has helped me through I have to give it back on the pitch.”
Those words from Zouma prove just how highly regarded Moyes is at the London Stadium.
The 60-year-old has been forced to endure some really heavy criticism during his second stint in charge at the London Stadium.
Considering the fact that he was the first manager to guide us to a major trophy in 43 years, I would say that criticism has been harsh in the extreme.
The comments from the Frenchman really were great to hear, and it goes to show that all is well behind the scenes at the London Stadium, in spite of what some people may have you believe.
