Gianfranco Zola insists he is not thinking about walking out on West Ham United to take over as Napoli boss. Zola, who played for the Italian club at the same time as Diego Maradona, and West Ham technical director Gianluca Nani are on the Serie A club's long-term wanted list. But the West Ham boss, whose side are second-bottom in the Barclays Premier League, said: 'Since I have been here there has been talk about many things but as far as I am concerned my focus is at West Ham. 'I care about this team and I am determined to do my best for them. If anything my focus is even greater because this is a difficult moment for us but as far as I am concerned, everything I need is here.' Zola also revealed that defender Calum Davenport, injured in a stabbing incident in August, has returned to light training. 'Calum is back and it was very nice to see him,' he said. 'He's allowed to do some swimming and work on the bike and it was marvellous to see him around after all the trauma he has been through.'
