Pablo Zabaleta has welcomed the impact new manager David Moyes has had on the West Ham squad and feels there are reasons to be positive for the season ahead.
The double Premier League title winner who joined the Hammers this summer said the training sessions under the new coaching team have been well received.
“Trainings been pretty good” said the 32 year-old. “We’ve been working really well over the past few days.”
Zabaleta joined teammate Angelo Ogbonna and U23 star Toni Martinez to meet fans at the Club’s new shop in Basildon’s Eastgate shopping centre.
More than 350 supporters descended on the store to meet the Hammers stars.
Trainings been pretty good, we’ve been working really well over the past few days. It is time to be positive and look forward to the season.

Zabaleta, who is available for squad selection in this Sunday’s clash at Watford after serving his suspension against Liverpool, added: “Of course, it’s going to be a tough game but we have a good squad – we need to work well and be focused on our next game.”
“If you look at the performances this season – especially against the top sides – we need to improve in every way – offensively, defensively and we need to be a more creative team, we need to try and not concede too many goals – we need to step up.”
The Buenos Aires-born star continued: “It is time to be positive and look forward to the season. There’s a long way to go and everything depends on us which is good.
