Hammers fans react as Kanoute is spotted at West Ham station

Plenty of West Ham United supporters are loving it after former striker Frederic Kanoute gave the club a special shout-out on social media.

Kanoute was pictured at West Ham station on the Underground and took the time to mention that it was his homecoming after spending four seasons scoring goals at Upton Park.

These fans went crazy for him on social media following the popular post at the weekend…

Read West Ham’s verdict

Kanoute made 102 appearances for West Ham over four years, scoring 33 goals and becoming a favourite amongst those on the terraces in the process.

It shows how much he was admired by the Hammers’ faithful when his reputation wasn’t tarnished too much for leaving Upton Park to join Tottenham Hotspur.

The 6’4″ Frenchman was certainly a player to remember and it’d be intriguing to see a strike partnership form with his fellow native Sebastien Haller…

He could definitely still do a job!
