Slav won’t put Zaza on the spot!

Simone Zaza will not be taking over as the Irons penalty taker!

The last time he was seen competitively was when he became a laughing stock in the the penalty shoot out against Germany when firing over the bar following a very dodgy stutteting approach.

With Andre Ayew and Andy Carroll out injured, Zaza is set to lead the line the Irons against Watford.

But Slav laughed off all suggestions he would use Zaza as his new spot kick specialit saying: : “No, no. We have a good penalty taker already, a great one. And we don’t get that many penalties. We’d like more!”

Bilic insisted Zazas ready for the Premier League after signing before deadline day saying: “We are not rushing him. He has to start eventually, he has to play Premier League. OK, he didn’t do a pre-season with us, but it’s not like he came yesterday.

“He was here for a couple of weeks now training with us. He is a player of quality, he has shown me in training and now he has to show it on the pitch in a proper game in a stadium.

“And he is not afraid of it. He wants it, you know? He wants to start a game and sooner or later he will play.

“I spoke to him and watched him in training and everything. He’s ready and I think he will play. We are not rushing him.

“It’s not as if he is going to play because we don’t have anyone. We have. We have three strikers now who are really good to play.”
