West Ham have confirmed the signing of Manchester City fullback Pablo Zabaleta.

The Argentine right-back is a free agent after discovering that his Etihad contract would not be extended by Pep Guardiola.

And Zabaleta will now link up with Slaven Bilic at the London Stadium next season as the Hammers bid to push back up the table after an underwhelming season.

The 32-year-old made 332 appearances during a nine-year stay at Man City and was highly regarded by fans there.

The Argentina full-back will join the Irons on a two-year deal from July 1, when his contract with Manchester City expires having been released at the Etihad Stadium.

"This is an absolute pleasure to be part of West Ham. I hope I can give you good moments. Of course, I come to the club to enjoy myself and hopefully we can have a very successful time," Zabaleta told West Ham TV.
