Zaza wanted by Valencia

Spanish side Valencia are lining up a winter move for Juventus striker Simone Zaza. The Italy international is currently plying his trade with West Ham United on a loan-cum-buy option.

The 23-year-old has yet to open his goalscoring account for the Hammers this season, and there are suggestions his loan spell could be terminated before he attains the stipulated number of appearances (14) to make the deal permanent.

Los Che boss Cesar Prandelli is said to hold a keen interest in Zaza, and it is believed that he would take the chance on the marksman, should he return to Turin in the New Year.

Zaza is likely to be offered a short-term loan with the Mestalla outfit, who have had a poor start to the La Liga season.
