West Ham boss Gianfranco Zola wants to make the Hammers an attractive proposition so that a billionaire will dig deep into his pockets and put the club on a firm financial footing. The Italian said: "I would love to see more tranquillity around this club. We dealt very well with the problems last year because we focused on the pitch and made things much easier for everybody.

"If you make things happen on the football pitch then everything becomes easier. If we play like we can maybe a billionaire can come and buy us, anything can happen. It is all about playing football well and getting points."
