David Moyes had no qualms about signing Patrice Evra and says he understands why the defender kicked a fan who abused him.
In November Evra, 36, was banned by UEFA until the end of the season and had his contract terminated by Marseille after he lashed out at a supporter.
But with West Ham in the midst of an injury crisis, Hammers boss Moyes this week snapped up the former Manchester United full-back on a free transfer.
"Do I have any concerns? No, not from what he told me," said Moyes.
