Reports from Sky Sports suggest West Ham are closing in on a loan move for Juventus forward Simone Zaza.
With the Hammers still searching for a new striker, to improve their attacking options, it looks as though Zaza is who they hope to be the solution. The East London club are currently in negotiations with ‘The Old Lady’ over a £1.7m loan fee, with the option to buy the player for £11.5m.
The Italian striker is hopeful of finding a club which will grant him more game time in a hope of securing a place in the national team for Euro 2016 next summer.
Zaza joined Juventus this summer for £13.5m, following two seasons at Sassuolo, who purchased co-ownership in him after he left Sampdoria at the end of the 2012-13 season.
The 24 year old striker scored 20 times in 64 Serie A games for Sassuolo but it is not currently in, Juventus Manager, Massimiliano Allegri’s first team plans.
