West Ham United boss Gianfranco Zola is delighted with his new attacking signings Alessandro Diamanti and Guillermo Franco.

"He (Diamanti) has some craziness in his eyes so I'm expecting good things from him," Zola said. "He is one of those players that could make a mistake but could create something unexpected. Variety is important and I expect a bit of that from Diamanti.

"He is very good. He came on last week and hit the post so that is a good first impact.

"I know it will take time because Serie B is a different level and pace. I'm expecting him to adapt but it will take some time."

Zola has also signed Franco to add to his options in attack but the Mexican is not ready to face Liverpool.

"He is a main striker who can play on his own," Zola said. "He can hold the ball up and I'm expect him to do well because he has all the qualities to be successful."
