Italian outfits eye Zaza!

Simone Zaza could be at the centre of a tug of war between Valencia and Naples should West Ham choose to close hs loan deal in January.

The Italy international from Juventus has been in a shocking form and ClaretandHugh reported a few days ago that the Irons could end his stay in the next window.

With Andy Carroll and Diafra Sakho returning to fitness he will have a huge battle to maintain his place and he has done nothing so far to justify a massive £20 odd million agreed with Juvents should the deal be made permanent.

CandH was told: “He will have to fight hard for his place and it is the case that he could return in January should things not work out.

We will all make our decisions nearer the time but at the moment we have other issues to address like climbing out of the bottom three.”

According to reports in Spain, new Valencia manager Cesare Prandelli is keen on signing the 25-year-old as he knows Zaza well from his time as Italy boss.

Napoli are also being tipped to make an offer after they missed out on Zaza in the summer when he chose a move to England ahead of a switch to Naples.
