West Ham eye Brescia's Savio Nsereko

[LNB]Two weeks ago, Savio's agent Patrick Bastianelli declared that the striker was being eyed by a host of clubs around the continent. [LNB]He said: 'We cannot forget that he was named the best player of the U19 European Championships, which Germany won by defeating Italy in the final. [LNB]'He would clearly love to join Napoli, but I cannot deny that Genoa and Roma are also in the race. [LNB]'Furthermore, West Ham sporting directo Gianluca Nani knows full well Savio's qualities, since he worked with Brescia, and we talked about the lad a week ago, as (Gianfranco) Zola would like to bring him to London.'[LNB]West Ham are also understood to be in talks with Fiorentina to take 23-year-old Daniel Pablo Osvaldo on loan until the end of the season. [LNB]The former Italian U21 international could then be purchased for around £7m in the summer. [LNB]West Ham have been seeking a striker ever since Craig Bellamy stormed out of the training ground last Friday and refused to participate in training after the club denied him permission to talk to Tottenham.
