Hammers “trying hard” in Zaza talks
Despite suggestions from the manager this morning that the Carlos Bacca deal may be resurrected that could be a smokescreen as we have learned that Zaza talks are back underway.
We have been told that they are continuing with the Italy international’s advisors but at this stage nobody will commit to a likely outcome.
We were simply told: “We are trying hard to bring the player in – we are working at it and you can advise fans we are doing all we can.”
The talks are still centering on whether this will be a loan or permanent deal with Juventus sticking to their permanent deal only position whilst the Hammers look for a season-long loan and option to buy.
Juve have put a £25 million price tag on the player’s head whilst he wants £100k a week in personal terms.
