West Ham are looking to conclude a move to bring Italian international Simone Zaza to the Boleyn Ground on loan.
According to reports emanating overnight from Italy, the Hammers - who remain desperately short of quality in attack with Andy Carroll, Mauro Zarate and Enner Valencia currently sidelined - are trying to take Zaza on loan for the season.Born in Policoro, the 24-year-old spent time with Atalanta, Sampdoria and Sassuolo before joining Juve last month in an €18m switch.
However it is understood that i bianconeri are prepared to let their new signing leave Turin for a season, on that basis that any interested parties pay a €3million loan fee.
The summer transfer window closes next Tuesday (1 September) at 6pm.
