Former West Ham striker Savio reported missing by Interpol
By SPORTSMAIL REPORTER
Fears have grown over the whereabouts of former West Ham striker Savio after he was officially reported missing in Italy.
Interpol have joined the search to find the Ugandan-born German, who is on loan with Serie B side Juve Stabia from Fiorentina.
Missing: Savio made only 11 appearances for West Ham
The 22-year-old hasn't been seen since texting his manager last Thursday to say he wouldn't be at training for 'personal reasons'.
Savio joined West Ham for £9million in 2009, but started just one game before being sold to Fiorentina seven months later.

Juve Stabia sporting director Salvatore Di Somma said: 'The player's mother lodged a complaint with Interpol and the police have released a photo of him to try to find him soon. Currently there is still no trace of the player and his family, close friends or police know where he is or what has happen.
'I am sorry above all for the human impact of this affair and naturally hope he can be found as quickly as possible.'
