Gianfranco Zola in a hurry to sign Mancini

West Ham boss Gianfranco Zola is anxious to sign Brazilian forward Mancini.

As it could be more than two months until Dean Ashton is fully fit, Zola is focusing on his bid to get the Inter Milan man.

Zola said: "He is one of the players who can improve us in the last 30 metres of the pitch."

Jack Collison scored a penalty in a 1-1 draw with Flavia Solva in Austria.
