West Ham United target Simone Zaza has stated that although he is fascinated by a move to the Premier League, he wants to stay at Juventus.

The Hammers are being linked with a host of different centre forwards as Slaven Bilic looks to add firepower to his squad ahead of moving to the Olympic Stadium for 2016-17.

Zaza is in Italy’s national squad for Euro 2016 and could well play a prominent role for the Azzurri at the tournament in France.

Despite being highly rated by national boss Antonio Conte, the former Sassuolo striker has found first-team opportunities at Serie A champions Juventus hard to come by.

As such, Zaza has been forced to play a fringe role in Turin and spent most of the season just finished on the bench for the Bianconeri.

Regardless of his lack of game time with Juve, the gifted forward has admitted that he is committed to succeed with the Turin giants and does not want to leave Italian football just yet.

“My future? To my knowledge Juventus don’t want to sell me, and while the Premier League is a fascinating league, I want to first establish myself in Italy,” he told Tutto Mercato Web.
