West Ham are set to sign Defender Pablo Zabaleta on a free transfer once his Manchester City contract expires at the end of June. Zabaleta has agreed a two-year deal at London Stadium. The Argentine joined City from Espanyol in 2008 and went on to make over 300 appearances for the club, winning the Premier League title twice.
In an interview he said: “Sometimes a new challenge is what you need as a person and a player. I hope I can give you good moments,”.
during the Premier League match between Manchester City and West Bromwich Albion at Etihad Stadium on May 16, 2017 in Manchester, England.
“I’m ready for it and looking forward to it. I wanted to keep playing in the Premier League. It is an absolute pleasure to be part of West Ham.”
He added, “This is the League that is really in my heart, where I have enjoyed playing for many seasons. There was also interest from some English clubs but West Ham was the first choice for me. I knew from the start that this was the right place for me and I really want to thank co-chairman David Sullivan helping to make this move happen.
“To carry on playing for several more years, to bring my experience here – hopefully that will help this club have a very successful time ahead. Everything seemed right. I have always had a huge respect for West Ham. The tradition of the club in English football is massive and we have seen, down the years, so many good players in that shirt.
“Also, it is a new era for the club: moving to the London Stadium, making that big step forward and, of course, it is a great city. I have only been here before for a few days and I do not know it well but it will be a fantastic place to live with the family.”
West Ham confirmed on Thursday the departures of Alvaro Arbeloa, Jonathan Calleri and Gokhan Tore.
