Simone Zaza will return to Juventus, after a failed loan spell at West Ham United, his agent reveals.
The striker was sent out on loan to the Premier League club in the summer for a fee of €5m, a sum which would trigger a permanent deal for €20m once he made 14 appearances.
Such a move turned out to be a disaster however, as Zaza has made just five league starts under Slaven Bilic and has failed to register a single goal.

"Zaza will definitely go back to Juve, because West Ham do not want to keep him," agent Vincenzo Morabito told Juvenews. "He could well stay in Turin, given that Juventus might need another striker. If not, there are plenty of other options."
One of these options could be Valencia, as Sporting Director Jesus Garcia Pitarch confirmed to Superdeporte.
"Basically the biggest challenge is that the salary that he has at West Ham is absolutely exorbitant, but that could be negotiated.
"I don't know what the coach thinks about this, but if we could reduce his wages, he is a player that we can evaluate."
