Zabaleta calls on West Ham to sort out their contract stand-off with teenage sensation NDONG BOOTED OUT
SUNDERLAND have sacked Didier Ndong after he failed to turn up for pre-season training.
Ndong, who signed for around £16million and has three years left on his contract, is set to face legal action from the Wearside club for compensation.
Ndong (above) reported for training yesterday for the first time this season. He has stayed away from the club as his agent tried to find him a new club. But a £7m move to Torino fell through. He is the second big money star to be handed notice on his contract after Papy Djilobodji was axed a fortnight ago.

Chelsea go to Liverpool for their Carabao Cup tie tomorrow night before the two teams clash in the Premier League on Saturday.
