Slaven Bilic responds to reports linking Juventus striker Simone Zaza with West Ham – ‘He’s a top player, we’ll see if it happens’

West Ham manager Slaven Bilic has admitted Juventus striker Slaven Bilic is on the club’s radar.

The Hammers are eager to strengthen their attacking options before the transfer window shuts, after record signing Andre Ayew was ruled out for up to four months with a thigh injury he suffered on his debut against Chelsea.

Bilic has already revealed out-of-favour Manchester City striker Wilfried Bony is ‘an option’ for him, but the Croatian boss is also keeping tabs on long-term target Zaza, having chased Italy international last year without success.
