The Argentinean right-back was snapped up by Slaven Bilic on a free transfer after his contract with Manchester City expired at the end go last season.

Hammers fans will be hoping Zabaleta can inspire his team to a better campaign this year.

The east London side flirted with relegation at points last season after struggling to adapt to life at their new stadium in Stratford.

However, Bilic’s team rallied towards the end of the season and finished in 11th position in the final Premier League standings.

And West Ham were back at the club’s training base yesterday for the first pre-season training session of the new campaign.
