West Ham United are looking to sign both Manchester City defenders Pablo Zabaleta and Bacary Sagna.

According to a report in The Sun, West Ham United will make a move for Manchester City’s Pablo Zabaleta this summer.

Slaven Bilic has made strengthening West Ham’s backline one of his top priorities in the summer transfer window and Zabaleta is thought to be one of his top targets.

Bilic wants to sign tried-and-tested Premier League players this summer, as he looks to improve West Ham’s fortunes next term.

And the Hammers are willing to offer Zabaleta £100,000-a-week to sign on at the London Stadium.

West Ham will hand Zabaleta a two-year deal, as they look to try and convince him to move to London.

The Argentine defender’s contract at Manchester City is due to expire in the summer, and Pep Guardiola does not plan on giving him a new deal.

If Zabaleta was to move to West Ham, he would surely come straight in Bilic’s starting line-up.

West Ham have also enquired about the availability of City’s Bacary Sagna, and could look to do a double deal.
