West Ham Offer £25,000 Reward For Information On Zouma Burglars

Zouma was home with his family when the robbers raided the apartment and made away with items and money worth £100,000.

The 29-year-old missed Sunday's 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace as a result of the ordeal.

The club said in a statement: “West Ham United has offered a £25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and successful prosecution of burglars who broke into defender Kurt Zouma’s home on the eve of the Club’s Premier League fixture against Crystal Palace this weekend.

“Kurt’s home was broken into on Saturday while all his family were in the house, leaving everyone present extremely distressed.

"While thankfully no one was harmed, it was a traumatic experience for the West Ham United defender, his wife and their young family.

“The burglars took items of significant value and of huge personal and sentimental importance to the family.

“The West Ham United family continue to offer Kurt’s family their full support.”

Hammers joint chairman David Sullivan said: “First and foremost, the thoughts of everyone connected to West Ham United are with Kurt and his family.

“To have someone break into your home is a terrifying experience and I hope this reward will help bring the individuals to justice and prevent others from going through a similar ordeal.”

Zouma has played 12 times in the Premier League this season.
