Footballer, Kurt Zouma is reportedly facing a rift with his West Ham teammates who have recently discovered the defender’s wage following his backlash for animal cruelty.

Footage of Zouma kicking his cat across the kitchen floor surfaced on Monday February 7, sparking outrage. The footballer has been fined two-weeks wages by the club for his actions.

Some reports suggested this will be donated to animal charities, although the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, RSPCA insists it is not due to receive any money.

West Ham is under pressure to push for further punishment after his brother, Yoan, was suspended by Dagenham and Redbridge for his involvement.

However, following West Ham fining Zouma, his wages have been revealed, leaving some stars unhappy.

It appears that the West Ham’s summer signing is the highest-paid player at the club, as his two-week wage fine equals £250,000.

According to the Daily Mail, his teammates are unhappy that the Frenchman is earning considerably more than the other stars at the club, and are demanding pay rise.
