Hammers complete Franco signing

West Ham have completed the signing of Mexico international striker Guillermo Franco.

The 32-year-old was a free agent following the expiry of his contract with Villarreal and had been linked with a move to South American champions Estudientes.

Hammers manager Gianfranco Zola has been anxious to bolster his attacking options and Franco follows Luis Jiminez, Alessandro Diamanti and Frank Nouble in moving to Upton Park this summer.
