Zola completes attacking jigsaw

West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola believes Guillermo Franco is the final piece of his attacking jigsaw. Zola is hoping to unleash the 32-year-old Mexico international in the Carling Cup tie against Bolton. England international Carlton Cole was West Ham's only real attacking outlet last season and Zola spent the summer bolstering his strikeforce. Alessandro Diamanti and Luis Jiminez joined from Serie A before Zola snapped up Franco, who was a free agent after his contract expired at Villarreal. Zola said: "If there is a possibility I will try to see him. He is a main striker, he is very good at holding the ball and very good with his feet. "He likes to play off the other strikers so he can make a difference for us."
