West Ham United nearing Zaza loan deal

West Ham United are on the verge of sealing a season-long loan deal for Juventus striker Simone Zaza.

The Italy international joined the Old Lady from Sassuolo for £13m this summer.

However, the 24-year-old is eager to make a loan move away from the Turin side, as he seeks to gain a place in the Azzurri squad for Euro 2016.

According to Sky Sports News, the Hammers are close to agreeing a £1.4m loan fee for the talented striker.

In addition to this, Juve would allow the East Londoners to make the deal a permanent one for £11.5m next summer.
