da dobrowin: Not too long ago, West Ham United supporters were paying tribute to Pablo Zabaleta, who enjoyed a very productive 2017-18 campaign at the London Stadium.
da roleta: The defender arrived at West Ham on a free transfer last summer, and made 39 appearances in all competitions for the Hammers last term.
Zabaleta, who is valued at £4.5m by transfermarkt.co.uk, will turn 34 in the early stages of 2019, however, and there are concerns over whether he has the legs to play a key role for West Ham next season.
That said, there could be a strong argument made that the Argentine is one of the fittest players in the Premier League, even if he is in the latter stages of his career.

The West Ham fans have been discussing Zabaleta, and it appears that a number are keen for new head coach Manuel Pellegrini to sign a replacement in this summer’s transfer window.
It does seem very harsh when considering that Zabaleta was excellent last term, but the club’s supporters are seemingly looking to the future.
Fulham’s Ryan Fredericks has been strongly linked with a move to West Ham, which could well spark the end of Zabaleta’s time at the club.
