West Ham United have agreed on a club-record deal to sign Simone Zaza just hours after their Europa League exit. The Italian has struggled for regular playing time at Juventus.
Slaven Bilic's side have reignited their pursuit for a top-class striker after summer signing Andre Ayew was ruled out for four months with a thigh problem.
According to The Guardian, the Hammers have finalized a record £24m fee for Zaza, with Andy Carroll being the latest to join the treatment room.
Nevertheless, the move could stall at the last minute with the Hammers no longer in the running for European football.The East London outfit suffered a shock 2-1 aggregrate defeat to Romanian side Astra Giurgiu in the Europa League play-offs and this may turn the player's focus elsewhere.
German side Wolfsburg are keeping a close eye on the player's situation amid the Hammers' failure to progress further in Europe.
