New West Ham signing Zabaleta says club must change mentality to win trophies

Pablo Zabaleta believes West Ham need to instil a 'winning mentality' if they want to capture silverware next season.

The former Manchester City fullback, who will move to the Hammers on July 1, is adamant of helping his new club win trophies.

"It's time for this football club to have that strong, winning mentality to believe that you can achieve important things," Zabaleta told the club's website.

"With domestic competitions, of course the Premier League is hard, but the FA Cup and EFL Cup are about seven games, you need to perform well and it's only one game at a time, and that's the right and winning mentality you need to achieve.

"This is something that I personally, from my point of view, think West Ham need to believe. As players, we can give the fans something to really enjoy.

"It's all about being positive, working hard and showing commitment from the players."
