Simone Zaza is seriously considering a move to West Ham with the club keen to add attacking additions in the final days of the transfer window.

The Juventus striker and Manchester City's Wilfried Bony are the two leading contenders to arrive at the London Stadium after a string of injuries to Andre Ayew, Andy Carroll, Manuel Lanzini and Diafra Sakho left Slaven Bilic desperately short on attacking options.

Zaza, who has previously interested Crystal Palace, is not part of Massimiliano Allegri's plans at Juventus and saw a move to Wolfsburg collapse earlier in the summer. The German side have since signed Mario Gomez, another long-standing target for the Hammers.

West Ham may have to pay up to £20million to bring in Zaza but the striker's father Antonio has made clear that his son would be open to trading in Juventus for the Premier League.

"West Ham are a solution we'd appreciate and represent something more concrete," he told Mediaset Premium. "We'll have to see what Juventus do and expect news soon.

"We are taking London into serious consideration as his next destination. Simone still has four years on his contract and would happily remain in Turin to give his contribution.

"Juventus don't want to sell Simone to a direct rival. Milan, Napoli and Roma would be the options, we'll see what happens."

Zaza made just 24 appearances for Juventus last season, his first term at the club since moving from Sassuolo. Though his opportunities were limited the 25-year-old remained impressive when called upon, averaging a goal every 133 minutes in Serie A.
