West Ham boss Zola to hold back Ilan

West Ham United boss Gianfranco Zola admits he's likely to hold back new signing Ilan.

The Brazilian striker arrived on a free from France last week.

"Ilan has only trained twice with us, but he looks OK. He is a good player. Obviously I need to see him a little bit more to have a more valuable opinion, but he is sharp and a skilful player and can give us good help," said Zola.
