West Ham have opened talks with Manchester City full-back Pablo Zabaleta, who is out of contract at the end of the season.
According to a report by Simon Jones of The Mail, the Hammers have already began speaking to the representatives of the Argentinian international in the hope of bringing him to the London Stadium on a free transfer this summer.
The 32-year-old has been at Manchester City since 2008 and has won two league titles, two League Cups and an FA Cup in that time, but it looks like Pep Guardiola is willing to let him leave in the summer.
Zabaleta is one of a number of players at Man City whose contract is set to expire at the end of the season and as it stands, it looks like there will be major changes at the Etihad in the summer.
Whilst Aaron Cresswell is fine at left-back, the right side of West Ham’s defence has been an issue all season and it looks like Slaven Bilic wants to bring in Zabaleta to address the problem area.
