Fiorentina coach Cesare Prandelli won't stop striker Giampalo Pazzini from leaving in January.

Pazzini is a target for West Ham United boss Gianfranco Zola and is rated in the £8 million class by Fiorentina.

"I still consider him a player who is part of our project," said Prandelli. "But we know it is the players who decide their fate.

"If he decides to leave, restraining him would be difficult, but at the moment there are no negotiations."
