West Ham boss Gianfranco Zola is predicting this forthcoming season the Hammers will see the best of 19-year-old forward Savio. "Savio is a boy who came from a totally different league with [a] much lower standard so (he has) had a few problems at the beginning trying to establish himself," Zola told the club's official website.

"He was used to playing at very low rhythm, so he had time on the ball and would get two or three seconds before someone was going to challenge.

"In the Premier League it is totally different, you don't have the ball and already someone is challenging you - but he is catching up. He is only 19."

"He is a player that I believe is going to give satisfaction to the supporters," the Italian enthused. "We need to be patient with him because he needs to adapt. He has got quality and believe me is going to be an important player."
