West Ham are believed to be putting together an incredible package to sign Pablo Zabaleta.
According to a report in The Sun the Manchester City defender will be offered a deal worth £100,000/week to come to the London Stadium.
Zabaleta is in his ninth season at Manchester City but hasn’t been offered a new contract as Pep Guardiola prepares to radically change his defence.
At the age of 32 the Argentinian is surplus to requirements at the Etihad but will find a warm and lucrative welcome if he decides to move to West Ham.
Slaven Bilic has looked at a number of full-back options but as a free agent the Zabaleta deal makes most sense.
Bringing in a time served Premier League operator will solve a problem in the side and also provide a real life example for the club’s emerging players to emulate.
Zabaleta has started 11 Premier League matches this season and made seven appearances as a substitute.
