Three English Premier League clubs, West Ham United, Stoke City, and Watford have all expressed interest in Juventus striker Simone Zaza, making a January move away from Turin increasingly plausible.

Having joined the Bianconeri over the summer as part of Juventus’ rebuilding process, the former Sassuolo man has since become frustrated by his lack of play, having featured in only nine matches despite having one of the highest goal scoring ratios on the team, finding the net three times.

While the players agent previous rejected rumours of a move to England, the Daily Star reported that the trio of English clubs have all expressed renewed interest in the young player, following his most recent goal in a 3-0 victory over Palermo.

The 24-year old Italian has stated that his primary goal is to join the national team in the European Championships next summer, and reports speculate that a move abroad could be his best chance of capturing the attention of coach Antonio Conte.

Following the Old Lady’s latest string of victories, the club now sits atop their Champions League group, and climbed their way to fifth in the league, just six points adrift from Inter.
