Hammers trial for Italian

20 July 2009 09:21
West Ham United have confirmed they are casting an eye over young Roma midfielder Simone Bezziccheri. The 16-year-old has been invited to London for a trial period as Gianfranco Zola mulls over whether to offer him a contract. The senior squad is currently in Austria but Bezziccheri was part of a youthful Hammers side that drew 1-1 with Cambridge United over the weekend. Academy director Tony Carr took charge of the team and played Bezziccheri for the full 90 minutes. Ahmed Abdulla scored for West Ham early in the second half before Rory McAuley grabbed a late equaliser for the Blue Square Premier outfit.
