A reliable Journalist has revealed that experienced Manchester City defender Pablo Zabaleta is nearing a deal with West Ham United.
Nicolo Schira, who works for Gazetta dello Sport, has claimed that the 32-year-old is nearing a deal with the East London club.
Zabaleta’s current deal at the Etihad stadium expires at the end of the season and it is unlikely that he will be offered a new deal as Pep Guardiola looks to build for the future.

Since signing for City in 2008 from Espanyol, Zabaleta has been a key player for City and played a key role in their rise from relegation candidates to one of the best clubs in Europe.
In 327 matches for the club, he has scored 11 goals and provided 27 assists. West Ham’s defence have been struggling this season and the addition of Zabaleta will certainly provide much needed stability and experience which will benefit the club.
