Prem duo bid €27m for Zaza

By Football Italia staff

West Ham United and Crystal Palace revived their attempts to poach striker Simone Zaza from Juventus for €27m (£19.9m).

The Premier League side had already been close to securing the ex-Sassuolo forward over the summer, but eventually Juve decided to keep him.

Zaza isn’t getting much playing time in Turin, but has still scored five goals in 10 competitive games this term.

Tuttosport now claim the Hammers are back in the running for the 24-year-old Italy international.

Despite proposing €27m, it’s reported Juventus will reject the proposals from West Ham and Crystal Palace because they do not want to sell Zaza on a permanent basis.

He would only be available on loan, so Sampdoria are keeping a close eye on the situation.
