Zaza’s agent/Dad piles pressure on

Simone Zaza’s father/agent Calcio Mercato has claimed this evening that the Irons will have to buy his mis-firing striker son permanently should he play ten games in the claret and blue.

However, our understanding is, from sources inside the club, that the figure is closer to 16.

Some game playing is cloearly going on from the Italian side possibly aimed at putting pressure on the Zaza scenario after the 25 year old’s highly dodgy start to life in the Premier League.

Speaking today Cacio Mercato declared: “West Ham will be obliged to take him on a permanent deal if he plays 10 games for the club,”

“He has to get used to the new tactics as they are different to those at Juve.”

However, a top insider told ClaretandHugh a few minutes ago: “The manager believes in the player and wants to give him every chance, though AC, Sakho and Ayew should all be back within a month if not sooner-so there will then be massive competition.
