West Ham United manager Manuel Pellegrini believes that new signing Fabian Balbuena will be ready for the start of the Premier League season.
Shoring up the back line was a major issue for Pellegrini. The Hammers conceded 68 goals last season.
Adding Lukasz Fabianski in goal and Balbuena in goal will help the team a great deal in the coming season.
And the manager believes his Paraguayan defender is ready for the Premier League, despite arriving from Corinthians in Brazil.
"Fabian is a strong and talented defender who has shown great leadership qualities with Corinthians in Brazil," said the Chilean manager to Sky Sports.
"He is ready to prove his quality on a bigger stage and I believe he has the right character to succeed in the Premier League."
