      Who is Kurt Zouma’s brother Yoan?

      by

      HE was the cameraman behind the horrific video of Kurt Zouma kicking and slapping his pet cat. And just like his footballer brother, Yoan Zouma is coming under the spotlight for his part in the shocking abuse incident.

      Who is Kurt Zouma’s brother Yoan?
      Born May 6, 1998, Yoan Zouma is Kurt Zouma’s younger brother.
      The 23-year-old is a professional footballer and currently plays for Dagenham & Redbridge as a defender.
      Yoan was behind the camera filming Kurt who was seen booting his cat like a football and slapping its face.
      The video was posted to Snapchat on the afternoon of Sunday, February 6, 2022 – a day after the centre-back appeared for West Ham in the FA Cup.
      The first clip was captioned “sa commence”, which translates into English as “it is starting”. It is replaced with a dozen laughing face emojis in later clips.
      The video has been highly criticised online with thousands contacting the RSPCA.
      In July 2018, Kurt posted on Twitter celebrating Yoan joining Bolton Wanderers on a two-year contract.
      He wrote: “Sooo proud of my little brother for his first professional contract! Congrats little bro it’s just the beginning. May God bless you always.”
      What happened in Kurt Zouma cat video?
      Premier League ace Kurt was filmed booting his cat like a football across his kitchen floor and slapping his pet’s face.
      The West Ham star, 27, is seen attacking the pet at his £2million mansion while his brother films him.
      The French international then chases the animal around his dining room in front of a child as the cameraman laughs.
      Zouma also hurls a pair of designer shoes at the pet — which frantically tries to escape.
      In a final clip, he is seen forcefully slapping the cat in the face — and out of the child’s arms.
      The club has condemned his actions and will “deal with the matter internally”.
      It is understood the £30million former Chelsea player was furious that the Bengal — an expensive breed of domesticated cat that looks like a small leopard — messed up his house.
      Does Kurt Zouma have any other brothers?
      Kurt and Yoan have an older brother called Lionel.
      He was born on September 10, 1993, and is also a professional footballer.
      Lionel made his professional debut on October 16, 2011, while playing for Sochaux.
      He now plays as a central defender for Vevey United and the Central African national team. More

      Amir Khan vs Kell Brook: Date, UK start time, live stream, TV channel and undercard for HUGE Brit grudge match

      by

      AMIR KHAN is finally set to face great rival Kell Brook in a massive domestic grudge match NEXT WEEK. Khan and Brook have been touted for a big dust-up for years but have never managed to put pen-to-paper on a deal.
      Khan vs Brook will take place on February 19 in ManchesterCredit: PA
      Now that both fighters are at the ends of their careers, Khan and Brook have put their egos aside at the negotiating table to give boxing fans what they’ve been after for so long.
      Khan hasn’t been in action for over two years, having last beat Billy Dib in a farcical fight back in the summer of 2019.
      Before that he lost a world title fight at welterweight against pound-for-pound star Terence Crawford, who he’s know training with in Nebraska ahead of his clash with Brook.
      And it was Crawford who Brook last fought in November 2020, when Bud stopped Special K in the fourth round of their Las Vegas match-up.

      What has been said?
      Khan said: “In the past 10 years I have fought two of the best pound-for-pound best fighters.
      “I have never run from Kell. I have never needed to. What I have achieved speaks for itself.
      “There is no point crying about the past. In the past he hasn’t deserved this fight. Come February 19 it will be time to see if he can back those words up.
      “I am coming levels down by taking this fight. I have fought the best in the world. I have conquered America.
      “But people want to see me punch him in the face.
      “It’s my time now to put him in his place and move onto bigger and better things.”
      Brook said: “He’s in cuckoo land.
      “You are getting knocked clean out. I will knock you spark out. That’s when Amir Khan will hit the deck for the final time.
      “He’s always veered off, never given me respect, never acknowledged me.
      “He has said: ‘Win a world title then I will fight you, fight this guy then I will fight you’. He has run away.
      “It has got to a part of his career where there is nowhere else for him to run.
      “I have wanted it for many years.” More

      Why did Marc Overmars leave Ajax and what has former Arsenal star said about ‘inappropriate messages’?

      Why did Marc Overmars leave Ajax?
      An Ajax club statement read: “Director of Football Affairs Marc Overmars will leave Ajax with immediate effect.
      “He made this decision after discussions in recent days with the Supervisory Board and CEO Edwin van der Sar and communicated his intentions to them.
      “A series of inappropriate messages sent to several female colleagues over an extended period of time underlies his decision to leave the club.”
      Club CEO and Man Utd legend Edwin van der Sar added: “I find the situation appalling for everyone and I agree with Leen Meijaard’s words.
      “In my role, I also feel responsible to help colleagues. A safe sport- and working climate is very important.
      “We will pay even more attention to this in the near future.
      “Marc and I have been playing together since the early 1990s, first at Ajax and then with the national team and we have been colleagues in the management of Ajax for almost ten years now.
      “That has now come to a very abrupt end.
      “We are working on something very wonderful here at Ajax, so this news will also be a blow to everyone who cares about Ajax.”

      Supervisory Board chairman Leen Meijaard commented: “This is a dramatic situation for everyone who is involved in any way.
      “It is devastating for the women who have had to deal with the behaviour.
      “When we heard news of this, we immediately acted, carefully deliberating and weighing what was the best thing to do – all in consultation with CEO Edwin van der Sar and assisted by an external expert.
      “Marc is probably the best football director that Ajax has had. We upgraded and extended his contract for a reason.
      “But, unfortunately, he has really gone over the line, so continuing as director was not an option, as he recognized himself.
      “It is extremely painful for everyone. I want to express the wish that everyone involved is given the peace and privacy to process this.”

      What has Marc Overmars said about his departure?
      Marc Overmars issued a brief statement saying he is “ashamed” of his actions.
      He commented: “I am ashamed. Last week I was confronted with reports about my behaviour. And how this has come across to others.
      “Unfortunately, I didn’t realise that I was crossing the line with this, but that was made clear to me in recent days.
      “I suddenly felt enormous pressure. I apologise. Certainly for someone in my position, this behaviour is unacceptable. I now see that too.
      But it is too late. I see no other option but to leave Ajax. This also has a major impact on my private situation.
      “That is why I ask everyone to leave me and my family alone.” More

      THE Africa Cup of Nations final will see Liverpool stars Mo Salah and Sadio Mane face off as seven-time winners Egypt play Senegal, who are aiming to become champions for the first time.

      Egypt have beaten Ivory Coast and Cameroon, both on penalties, already in the tournament, as well as overcoming Morocco after extra time in the quarter-finals.
      Senegal have faced an easier run of games, but will still go into Sunday’s final as favourites, with Sadio Mane in need of a hat-trick to finish as the golden boot winner.

      Team news
      Egypt manager Carlos Queiroz will be missing from the side lines after he was sent off in the semi-final win against Cameroon.
      Egypt will look to start their strongest eleven, including Salah, Elneny and Hegazy, but may be forced to rotate elsewhere due to fatigue, as they have been to extra time in all three of their knockout stage games so far.
      Senegal have no fresh injury concerns, and will look to sport their best XI – which includes world beaters such as Sadio Mane, Edouard Mendy and Kalidou Koulibaly.
