West Ham FC news: Simone Zaza in talks with Valencia as striker's father confirms Hammers career is 'finished'

Simone Zaza's 'adventure' at West Ham is over, his father has confirmed.

The striker arrived from Juventus on a season-long loan spell in the summer but has had a dreadful time of it in east London.

The 25-year-old has failed to score in his 12 first-team appearances for the club and will now cut short his loan.

His father, Antonio Zaza, told Tuttosport: "The West Ham adventure is finished and we are looking at different options for his future."

Another loan, this time to Valencia, has been mooted for the second half of the season while it has also been suggested that he may attempt to fight for his place back at Juve.
