West Ham striker Simone Zaza’s agent “advised him to return to Italy and he’d have no problems” at Napoli.
The Italy international is on loan from Juventus, but the option to buy will become mandatory in another five appearances for the Hammers.
“I advised him to return to Italy,” agent Giuseppe Riso told Rai Sport. “It’s the best thing for him and his future.
West Ham striker Simone Zaza’s agent “advised him to return to Italy and he’d have no problems” at Napoli.
The Italy international is on loan from Juventus, but the option to buy will become mandatory in another five appearances for the Hammers.
“I advised him to return to Italy,” agent Giuseppe Riso told Rai Sport. “It’s the best thing for him and his future.
“I want to make clear that his father takes care of his interests and he is his agent, while I work with him.
“He has the right determination to make the difference in Serie A. He could also do well in the Premier League, but that would take time.
“Simone needs a club that can support and coddle him to a degree. There hasn’t been much patience at West Ham and hasn’t had a great start either…”
Zaza would be a replacement for Manolo Gabbiadini, who is struggling to fit into Maurizio Sarri’s 4-3-3 system at Napoli.
“Zaza can play as a centre-forward or a support striker, so he would have no problems in Sarri’s system. He has already played 4-3-3 at Sassuolo.”
What of reports that Cesare Prandelli wanted to bring Zaza to Valencia?
“I think that to emerge from this difficult moment it’s best he comes back to Italy. The Spanish idea with Prandelli is an idea, but the best would be Serie A.”
