West Ham United boss Gianfranco Zola is convinced teenage striker Freddie Sears has a big future.

"My hope is that we are going to develop them in this club. It's always been good because it has already some good players," Zola said.

"Freddie Sears has already played and I have good expectations of him. We also have some other good players coming through and hopefully they will get better. We are making these training sessions to get them when we have the opportunity to come in and play with us so they have a feel of that to make them better. I have a lot of faith in them," he added.
