High time for Pablo

- BY SIMON MULLOCK

PABLO ZABALETA has been presented with a spectacula­r luxury watch to mark the end of his nineyear stint at Manchester City.

City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarek flew from Abu Dhabi to personally thank the defender for his time with the club in which they have won two Premier League titles, two League Cups and the FA Cup.

Insiders say Zabaleta, 32, who is joining West Ham on a two-year deal, appeared stunned as he was handed the specially-crafted designer timepiece last weekend.
