West Ham have announced Pablo Zabaleta has signed a one-year contract extension tying the player to the club until the summer of 2020.


Manuel Pellegrini has felt to warrant the player with a new deal, with his previous one expiring at the end of the season, after featuring 25 times in the league for the club this campaign.

Since joining as a free transfer in May 2017, the former Manchester City defender has gone on to play 65 times for the Hammers, being an almost ever-present in his debut season. West Ham announced on their official Twitter page that the club have extended his deal by a further year.
