Slaven Bilic has confirmed that both Juventus’ Simon Zaza and Wilfried Bony are targets for the Irons.

Speaking ahead of tomorrow night’s Europa Cup clash at a morning presser the manager said of the Zaza interest: “We were linked with him (Zaza) last year and he is a top player. We were in contact with him last year and will see what happens.

“Bony is also an option because he plays in the position we are looking for. I leave negotiations to the Chairman and Tony Henry.”

ClaretandHugh has revealed after conversations with a top source that the club would be keener to bring the Juventus hitman in on a season-log loan.

He wants around £100k personal terms whilst  Bony has always been the more realistic option given that the club is really only looking for cover until January when record signing Andre Ayew is back.”

Meanwhile, the manager is optimistic about the clash against Romanian outfit Astra Giurgiu saying: They beat us last year and it is not job done. We have had enough time to recover from Sunday and I am optimistic.”
