Alan Shearer has claimed that Kurt Zouma is ‘loving life’ at West Ham, as he told the Premier League’s official website.

The former striker praised Zouma for ‘another fine display’, as West Ham beat Tottenham 1-0 on Sunday.

Even though David Moyes’ side weren’t at their best, they still remained organised, made the right decisions and were efficient enough to put away the chance that they created.

Even though Harry Kane opened his account in the Premier League last week against Newcastle, Zouma ensured he wasn’t a threat at the London Stadium.

And Shearer praised the former Chelsea player for adding ‘steel’ to West Ham’s backline since his big-money summer move.

“Zouma is loving life at London Stadium,” said Shearer. “And he has really added steel to the West Ham backline.

“Another fine display (against Tottenham) and a clean sheet.”

That’s another player Moyes has added to West Ham’s ranks that is looking like a top-quality purchase.

Even though the Hammers have to deal with the heavy workload of European football on Thursday’s.

The East London side are ensuring none of that affects their Premier League form because they are still going strong.

But, before their visit to Villa Park on Sunday, it’s a small matter of facing Manchester City in the League Cup on Wednesday night.
