Juventus forward Simone Zaza opted to stay in Turin as he rejected the advances of West Ham United.

The Premier League club were known to have been interested in the 24-year-old but a move failed to materialise with the Italian keen on staying with the reigning Serie A champions.

This is despite the fact that the former Sassuolo forward would not be be guaranteed first team football with the Bianconeri.

According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Hammers boss Slaven Bilic is said to have promised the forward that he would receive regular playing time as he is a huge admirer of the striker.

“Come to us, you will lead our attack and are my first choice,” the Croatian coach told Zaza.

Zaza made 64 appearances during his time with the Neroverdi, scoring a total of 20 goals.
