West Ham United captain Kurt Zouma is still getting used to his new role at the club.
The French center half has the faith of manager David Moyes, despite previous controversies.
Zouma is relishing his role as a leader, but admits running into ex-skipper and current sporting director Mark Noble is a little odd.
"Every time he sees me, he calls me 'skipper'," he stated, per the Evening Standard.
"It's weird for me, because I used to call him that."
"I didn't know it was going to be me," Zouma added.
"He told me in front of the boys and we are all captains in this team.
Everyone speaks, everyone tries to motivate players, not only me. I'm just wearing the armband and try to do the best I can. It was a proud moment for me."
