West Ham United are closing in on the signature of long term target Simone Zaza from Serie A side Juventus according to reports in Italy.
Calcio Mercato report exclusively how the Hammers have agreed a four year deal for the Italian international that is estimated to be worth €3 million a year.
The fee reported for Zaza is believed to be around €25 million for the former Sassuolo man.
It is said that Napoli were interested in taking Zaza to Naples, but Juventus are not keen to see him join a rival and the player is keen on a permanent move away from the Serie A champions.
If a deal is concluded it will bring to an end a summer long pursuit for the 25 year old who only joined the Italian giants last summer.
Zaza featured 19 times last season under Massimiliano Allegri whilst also scoring on five occasions.
When a deal is complete for Zaza it could well allow Slaven Bilic to allow Enner Valencia to leave the club with reports suggesting today the Hammers rejected a bid from Aston Villa..
