West Ham are showing an interest in Simone Zaza once again, according to reports from Sports Witness.
According to his agent, Christian Maifredi, there has been interest from major European clubs which includes West Ham and Crystal Palace. The 24 year-old signed for Juventus from Sassuolo for around £15 million last summer however has only made seven appearances for ‘The Old Lady’. In those seven appearances he has scored three goals, including strikes against Sevilla and rivals Torino.
Zaza is becoming a regular member of the Italian squad and will want to be playing regular football to prove that he can be a worthwhile part of The Azzuri’s EURO 2016 campaign in France.
West Ham supposedly were interested in signing Zaza on loan at the end of the summer window when it was apparent that the Italian international would not be a regular feature in the Juventus starting line up. Juventus refused to let their new signing go however it has been true that he has not played much.
Zaza could be the attacking threat that West Ham need with main striker Diafra Sakho out for 3 months and other strikers like Carroll, Valencia and Jelavic failing to make an impact in games.
