Simone Zaza is in talks with Valencia over a possible January move as he looks to end his disastrous loan spell at West Ham.
Italy international Zaza joined the Hammers on loan from Juventus last summer but has failed to score in 11 league and cup games.
The terms of his current deal state that West Ham must sign Zaza for £20million if he accumulates 14 appearances for the east London club.
His failure to impress soon saw him linked with a return to Italy but his father and agent has now confirmed the Spanish side's interest.
