Matt Taylor is convinced West Ham United's Serie A signings can make a big impact.

Marco Borriello, Antonio Nocerino and Pablo Armero have all arrived on-loan.

Hammers wing-back Taylor told whufc.com: "The Italian lads, first and foremost, must be finding it difficult to have moved to a new city, a new country and a new culture, but they've taken the plunge and done that.

"They have CVs that could have seen them stay in Italy, in Serie A, but they have chosen to come to the Premier League.

"From what I've seen, both of them look to be very capable footballers. I'm hoping Marco can score some vital goals for us between now and the end of the season.

"Antonio is a very good footballer, a very good box-to-box midfielder, from the training I've seen. I'm sure he'll get his chance from the start soon to showcase his talents.

"Ultimately, whoever is picked, we need to make sure get behind them because that's the most important thing as a Club - that whoever plays, plays well."
