West Ham Linked With Swede

Swedish under-18 player Marcus Bergholtz has been at West Ham this week on trial. He is currently on the books of Helsingborg but Helsingborg manager Bo Nilsson said,

"If it's a serious offer, and if the player concerned really wants it, then we will always listen."

Also this morning a number of web sites are linking West Ham with out of favour Juve defender Jonathan Zebina. Zebina fell out with Juventus boss Claudio Ranieri earlier in the season and has been frozen out by the former Chelsea chief who does not appear to fancy him. A number of other clubs are also thought to be interested in the French international.

Meanwhile none of the national media has picked up on the Newham Recorder's 'done deal' of Giles Barnes moving to West Ham. So maybe it is not so 'done' after all.
