Juventus striker Simone Zaza is undergoing a West Ham medical.
The Sun says the 25-year-old was in London last night for a medical and is set to join on loan from Juventus for the season.
The Hammers have signed an agreement that will see them pay a club record £24million in 12 months' time for the Italy international.
West Ham's midweek defeat to Romanians Astra Giurgiu in the Europa League qualifiers highlighted their desperate need for striker.
Last season Zaza hit five goals from 19 appearances for the Serie A champions.
