Dad says West Ham 'welcome solution' for Juventus striker Simone Zaza

The father of Simone Zaza says the Juventus striker would welcome a move to West Ham.

The striker saw a move to VfL Wolfsburg fall through, though Juve GM Beppe Marotta is adamant Zaza will be sold this month.

The player's father, Antonio, told Gazzamercato.it: "West Ham is a welcome solution, something more concrete. We'll see what Juventus do, in short we will have news.

"London? It is a solution that we take very seriously."

Zaza Snr added: "Simone lives a quiet time at the professional level. I should mention that he still has four years of his contract with Juventus and would remain willingly in Turin to make a contribution. The Italian market offers few economic opportunities and so Juventus do not want Simone sold to a competitor. Milan, Naples, Rome would be the options, we will see what will happen."
