Rodney Marsh has suggested that West Ham United have pulled off their perfect signing by snapping up Pablo Zabaleta on a free transfer.

West Ham moved quickly to secure Zabaleta’s signature, following the expiration of his contract at Manchester City.

And Marsh feels that the Hammers have made a very astute purchase by snapping the right-back up.

Zabaleta is expected to have an important role to play at West Ham next season, as he should come straight into Slaven Bilic’s side.

West Ham have struggled to find a reliable right-back this term, with Sam Byram, Michail Antonio and Havard Nordtveit all spending spells playing in the position.

Zabaleta will bring with him a wealth of experience, after spending nine years with City.

This season, the Argentine has made 31 appearances across all competitions for Pep Guardiola’s side.
