Marc Zoro

There appears to be conflicting reports in the British press with regard to the transfer of Ivory Coast international defender Marco Zoro.

According to Setanta and the British tabloid the Daily Mirror, the 25-year-old is due to begin a week-long trial at Blackburn Rovers next week.

The report on Setanta claims that the player's current club, Portuguese giants Benfica, will send him to Ewood Park.

However, if Sky Sports are to be believed, the former Salernitana and Messina player will instead be joining West Ham United.

"I will spend five days on trial at West Ham," Zoro is quoted as saying.

"At the moment I am in the UK, but I am not supposed to say anything else at the moment.

"Benfica? I don't know what is happening. I have never been given an opportunity to prove myself.

"The Premier League would be a dream for me, so let's wait and see what happens. I will talk more next week."
