Savio takes the number 10 shirt


West Ham have signed 19 year old Ugandan born German under 20 striker. Savio Nserko has signed from Italian Serie B side Bresica. He has agreed to sign for the hammers on a four and a half year deal for an undisclosed fee rumoured to have broke the clubs transfer record with £9mill.


Nsereko passed a medical and, subject to international clearance, will make his debut in the Barclays Premier League clash against Hull at Upton Park on Wednesday night.


West Ham chief executive Scott Duxbury told the club's official website: "We are delighted to sign Savio, particularly with the fierce competition for his services across Europe."


"He is an exciting prospect, who Gianfranco Zola believes will prove a valuable asset for this club now and in the years to come."


"It is a significant investment and shows our determination to continue moving this club forward."


Savio is a replacement for Craig Bellamy who went to Man City last week. This week though West Ham have said good bye to Hayden Mullins who has signed a four and a half year deal down on the South Coast with Tony Adams at Pompey.
