Manchester City fullback Pablo Zabaleta is happy to help the club's new-boys settle.

This summer, Alvaro Negredo and Jesus Navas have moved from Spain to Manchester, the same move Zabaleta made back in the summer of 2008.

"I'm always available to help them with everything they need, on and off the pitch," said Zabaleta.

"Sometimes, when you've been in the same place for a long time and you know everything, you always try to help everybody who comes to the club.

"For them it's better when they find a team-mate who has been here for a long time and speaks the same language. It's much better for them."
