West Ham sponsors suspend deal with club as Kurt Zouma faces potential jail sentence in France

West Ham's wellness partner Vitality have suspended their sponsorship at the club over the Hammers response to the vile videos of Kurt Zouma attacking his pet cat.

Zouma has been fined two weeks' wages by West Ham but was available for selection on Tuesday evening despite the footage of his attack being made public on Monday night.

A number of West Ham's sponsors are 'evaluating their relationship' with the club as a result of this decision and Vitality have gone one step further and suspended their sponsorship.

"We were very distressed by the video we have seen of Kurt Zouma. At Vitality, we condemn animal cruelty and violence of any kind. We are hugely disappointed by the judgement subsequently shown by the club in response to this incident," a statement read.
