West Ham to Sign Amarilla and Aguilar

West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola wants to sign two Paraguayan youngsters after their current trial with the club. Nelson Amarilla, 20, a defender, and Juan Aguilar, 19, a midfielder, both play for Guarani in Paraguay but have had a week of training with West Ham.

The Daily Mail claim that Zola is keen to sign both players,

"The project is to make a team capable of a high level," said the West Ham manager. "We cannot compete by spending £200million so we have to do it through getting young players.

Not all the time will we be looking abroad. We have good young English players here like Freddie Sears and Mark Noble and we are trying to improve them."
