West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola believes there is more to come from striker Alessandro Diamanti.
Diamanti, brought in from Livorno late last month, came off the bench for his debut against Wigan and impressed in a 27-minute spell.
He went close with a free-kick and hit the post with a cross-shot which left goalkeeper Chris Kirkland stranded.
"Diamanti has got quality and he will be a good asset for us," Zola said. "He just needs some time to get up to the Premier League pace, which is very much different to the one in Italy.
"He has got some important qualities and had an impact on the game. Diamanti will improve but he is a player who can give us something different."
