Former Hammer voices striker worries

Tony Gale has expressed his concern over striker Simone Zaza.

Gale has been critical of the Italian during streamed TV coverage of the match against West Brom questioning his touch and claiming most Hammers attacks were breaking down on the front man.

With no goals after two games Zaza has looked very average and Gale had no hesitation in voicing his concerns when acting as a pundit during the Saturday game.

And he has added today: “I’m not sure about Zaza. I wasn’t sure before he came to the club, after seeing him play for Juve about eight times.

Gale also questioned the wisdom of allowing Enner Valencia to join Everton saying: “Valencia has been transferred, and I found that a strange decision, when you haven’t got many strikers.”
