Imminent exit: Savio could be on his way out of West Ham West Ham are in talks with Fiorentina over a swoop for defender Manuel Da Costa in a deal that could see striker Savio move in the opposite direction. Da Costa is thought to be a target of the London outfit and the Viola are prepared to let him go in exchange for Savio, who has struggled to make an impact in England since joining West Ham from Brescia in January. Fiorentina sporting director Pantaleo Corvino confirmed the talks but said the deal has yet to be completed.  He said: "Da Costa is not yet of West Ham. They asked for him and wehave considered adding Savio in the negotiations, which could be seenas an investment for Fiorentina." The Florence-based outfit have confirmed the transfer of midfielder Zdravko Kuzmanovic to Stuttgart in a £6.15million deal.
