The father and agent of Simone Zaza says that his son never wanted to join West Ham United in the first place as the Italian forward ponders a return to Italy this winter.
Zaza joined the Hammers in the summer on loan from Juventus, in a deal which included a clause that would make the move permanent after the 25-year-old reached a certain number of appearances, but since he has failed to score even once in just five Premier League starts, the clause is unlikely to be triggered.
He would have no intention of doing so either, according to his father Antonio, who says the move to England was against the player's will all along.
