Valencia in negotiations with Juventus over Simone Zaza transfer - agent

Valencia are in talks with Juventus to sign Simone Zaza, according to the player's agent.

Valencia had wanted to add Zaza, 25, to their squad in the summer but failed to agree a deal with Juve and he instead joined West Ham on a one-year loan in August with an option to make the move permanent at the end of the season.

The Italy international has failed to score in 11 appearances for West Ham this term and is set to leave the club during the January transfer window.

Zaza's agent, Vincenzo Morabito, is quoted as saying by Superdeporte: "There is a negotiation in place, [but] I'm being cautious with respect to the discussion between the two clubs.
