West Ham fans seemingly can’t get enough of Kurt Zouma.

The Frenchman only debuted for the Hammers on Thursday in the Europa League.

Yet the fans have taken to him very quickly at the London Stadium.

Alongside Issa Diop against Dinamo Zagreb, Zouma helped the Hammers to a commanding 2-0 win.

Now, the fans are desperate for him to step into the team in the Premier League.

Having spoken after the game against Zagreb, the fans latched onto every word Zouma said.

The ex-Chelsea man spoke about being apart of the West Ham family and how the club dream of winning the Europa League.

He gives of a great energy at West Ham and it seems that David Moyes’s move to sign him was a shrewd one.

So far this season West Ham have used Craig Dawson and Angelo Ogbonna at centre-back in the league.

That could be set to change against Manchester United, though.

Zouma is a big money signing and one who wasn’t signed to take up a place on the bench.

Having cost the best part of £30m (), the sooner that Zouma can come in and play the better.

Seeing him against Zagreb the fans were delighted.

The 26-year-old commanded well, won his duals and worked well alongside the rest of the team.

That sort of display will be what the fans are vying for.

In a partnership with Ogbonna he could be in line for a really good season in the Premier League.

There’s no reason why the Hammers can’t target a serious run at the Europa League.

With Zouma’s ability on the pitch and his good energy off of it this West Ham side will only get better.
