West Ham close to sealing loan move for Juventus striker Simone Zaza with view to £24m permanent move

Juventus striker Simone Zaza will arrive in London on Friday to finalise his loan move to West Ham.

The 25-year-old Italy international will join on a season loan with view to £24m permanent deal and has been offered wages of around £60,000 per week after tax.

The Hammers have been on the hunt for strikers all summer but top targets Carlos Bacca and Alexandre Lacazette turned them down.
