Valencia striker Simone Zaza: I want to forget about West Ham

Valencia striker Simone Zaza admits he wants to forget his loan experience with West Ham.

Zaza is on-loan at Valencia from Juventus.

He said, “The truth is that it is what it is. At West Ham I didn't score and didn't play much. I think I played less than seven or eight matches.

“I was in a difficult situation that I didn't like and I want to forget about it as quickly as possible. At Valencia I feel fantastic. Goals for a striker is the most important thing, but for me the key is to be physically fit.

“If I'm well mentally and physically, I know I'll do well. Two goals in less than a week feels like a complete release, but I'm not happy like this. I want to do much more.

“My 'gladiator' style of play? A lot of the time it's dangerous for the cards I may pick up, I know, but I've always played like this.

“Now I do even more because I went a long time without playing and enjoying myself. In England I didn't feel good, both physically and mentally, but now I'm back."
