Simone Zaza 'completes West Ham United move'

West Ham United have completed the signing of Simone Zaza from Juventus, according to reports.

Hammers boss Slaven Bilic yesterday confirmed that the deal was close to being finalised, although official confirmation is yet to arrive from either club.

However, respected Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio claims that the move has now been completed, with Zaza moving to the London Stadium for a club-record fee of £24m.

Zaza is known to be in London at the moment, with his girlfriend uploading a series of photos on Instagram showing her in the capital.

West Ham are expected to confirm the news within the next 24 hours as they finally bring an end to their summer-long search for a high-profile striker.

Zaza spent just one season at Juventus, scoring eight goals in 24 appearances in all competitions.
