Cat-kicker Kurt Zouma and his brother Yoan to appear in court as RSPCA start process of bringing prosecution against the pair after video of the West Ham star drop-kicking his pet went viral

Kurt Zouma and his brother Yoan will appear in court with the RSPCA starting a process of bringing prosecution against the pair following an investigation into the West Ham defender kicking his cat last month.

Yoan Zouma was suspended by Dagenham in February after he filmed his brother Kurt slapping and kicking his own cat.

The National League club were first to confirm on Wednesday that Yoan has been charged by the RSPCA over the incident.

'Dagenham & Redbridge FC note the decision of the RSPCA to charge Yoan Zouma under the Animal Welfare Act 2006,' the statement said.
