Agent: No offers made for Zaza

There have been no offers made for Juventus striker and West Ham target Simone Zaza, according to his agent Christian Maifredi.

Having been turned down by both Michy Batshuayi and Alexandre Lacazette, the Hammers have moved onto their next tier of striker targets which includes Juventus’ Simone Zaza.

Zaza was used as Juventus’ fourth-choice striker last season behind the likes of Paulo Dybala, Mario Mandzukic and Alvaro Morata, who has recently rejoined Real Madrid, and Zaza was limited to just five starts in Serie A last season, making 19 appearances in total and scoring just five times.

Juventus will allow Zaza to leave the club once they find a replacement for Alvaro Morata, which seems a long way away but that has not deterred clubs from lining up moves for the Italian international.

Despite talk of €30m offers from Wolfsburg and West Ham, Maifredi states that no club have made a request to sign his client thus far.

“For now the player has not received any request” Maifredi told SportItalia.

Zaza is one of a number of strikers West Ham are keeping tabs on, along with AC Milan’s Carlos Bacca and Napoli’s Manolo Gabbiadini.
