West Ham United have signed Italian striker Simone Zaza from Juventus on a season-long loan for an initial fee of five million pounds, the Premier League club said yesterday.
Zaza scored five Serie A goals in 19 games last season and also struck Juve’s winner in their friendly win over West Ham at the London Stadium earlier this month.
A permanent fee of £20 million will be automatically triggered if the striker makes a certain number of Premier League appearances this season, plus a further three million pounds in contingent payments, the club said.
“I want to thank everyone for welcoming me... I wanted to start a new experience and I feel this is the right choice for me,” Zaza said.
