West Ham went down 1-0 to Tottenham in the Asia Trophy semi-finals so can the Hammers get their pre-season campaign back on track against Beijing Guoan?

Parma have signed former Italy international defender Christian Panucci from Roma.

The 36-year-old Panucci formerly played for Milan, Inter, Real Madrid and Chelsea among other clubs.

However, he fell out with Roma coach Luciano Spalletti midway through last season and was left out of the first team until making a humbling public apology.

Panucci was unhappy at losing his place in the starting line up last season with Philppe Mexes and Juan preferred at centre-back and Marco Motta given the right-back spot.

Parma were promoted back to Serie A at the first attempt last season after finishing second in Serie B.
