Zabaleta agrees three-year deal

Manchester City full-back Pablo Zabaleta has agreed a new three-year deal with the club.

The Argentine, currently on holiday after the Copa America, will sign the new contract when the club return from their pre-season tour of North America. Meanwhile, Craig Bellamy has impressed City officials by throwing himself into his pre-season work with the academy players, opening up the possibility that he could play his way back into favour.
