West Ham United's Simone Zaza Planning January Escape to Napoli With Player's Agent Pushing for Move

Published on: 11 November 2016

West Ham United striker Simone Zaza is reportedly angling for a move away after just a few months in East London with his agent, who is also his father, pushing for a January escape to Serie A side SSC Napoli.


The Italian international joined the Hammers in the summer on a season-long loan deal from Juventus, with the view to join the club permanently next summer for £20m should he play a certain amount of games for coach Slaven Bilic's side.

However, after failing to hit the net after nine games in English football,Corriere dello Sport, viathe Mirror, have reported that the Old Lady flop is looking for a move away already, with his agent father is eyeing up amove back to Italy with fellow Serie A side Napoli.


Speaking of a potential move, Zaza's father and agent Antonio said: "Napoli is Napoli. If they called, I would listen. The contract is dependent on the games that Simone plays.


"He must accumulate 14 appearances in order for the deal to become permanent, and up to now he has played nine.

"So far he has not been contacted by any club, but if someone seeks me out, of course I would listen. I am available to all, but especially to Napoli.�


West Ham would reportedly be keen to exercise this deal, but only through a swap deal where they would hand over Zaza for their preferred attacking option andNapoli forward Manolo Gabbiadini, however this particular move is yet to be agreed upon.
