Zaza talks update
It will become a record breaking deal and the negotiations – which started at 7.30 am this morning – have now come to a successful conclusion.
At this stage it is not clear whether Juventus have signed off on the loan come permanent deal but we are told the player has agreed to join us.
The two sides met at the London Stadium this evening and despite negotiations breaking down on a number of occasions they were finally picked up and brought to a successful conclusion.
A late move by Naples – who had bid £30 million euros – has been seen off and a source close to the talks told us a few minutes ago that all had now been sorted with the player although there was no confirmation from Juve’s end.
Zaza – we were told – was impressed by the stadium during the prestige pre-season Juventus friendly declaring it to be a great place to play football and had made it clear to his adviors that were he to come to the Premier League, West Ham was the club he wanted.
