Slaven Bilic is set to go for big signings this summer having stated West Ham needed 'game changers', and it looks like Pablo Zabaleta will be the first addition of the transfer window.
The right-back, capped 58 times by Argentina, will end his current contract at City at the end of next month and will officially join the Hammers on the 1st of July on a free transfer.
Zabaleta joined the Citizens in 2008 and went on to win the Premier League twice before his tearful farewell on the last home game of the season: 'It has been nine wonderful years, we cannot forget where we have come from. We have to be very proud. I am so proud to see where Manchester City is today', he said.
The 32-year-old's spell in England will continue after reaching an agreement for a two-year deal at the London Stadium.
