Hammers keeper urges patience with new boy

West Ham United goalkeeper Robert Green has called for patience over new signing Savio. Teenage striker Savio joined the Hammers from Brescia in the winter transfer window for a reported club record fee of £9million. Savio has made two appearances from the substitutes' bench for Gianfranco Zola's side since the switch, and has yet to open his goalscoring account. Green said in the Daily Star: "I'm sure it's a bit different from Brescia. "I'm sure he knows he's got a lot to learn, but he's very young and I think he knows he's not the finished product just yet."
