Davide Santon to West Ham?

Gianfranco Zola could be set to make a shock move for Italian defender Davide Santon. The player is widely regarded as one of the finest full backs in Serie A, and Jose Mourinho is reportedly ready to allow the player to gain some experience.

The player could move to the Premiership, and Italian boss Zola is ready to use his home connections to land the hot prospect on loan for six months.

Santon is widely expected to fill in for Faubert, who joined Real Madrid recently. The right back is seen as one of the best youngsters in Europe.
