West Ham United boss Gianfranco Zola says he'd love to take the club into Europe next season.

He said: "We have not been in Europe for a while. I played in Europe many years ago and I know how good it is to play in those competitions, not only for the silverware you can get but also for the players it is an opportunity to improve as if you play abroad you always improve. I wish we can achieve that.

"We need to push because we want to achieve the estimate of 52 points if we want to go to Europe, we need to push ourselves hard because we have a few injuries.

"It is achievable. You have to think in this way. You have to have a target and you have to give everything to achieve that."
