West Ham United could well have competition if they opt to make a move for Simone Zaza, with Calcio Mercato stating that AC Milan are interested in the Juventus attacker.

The Hammers are searching for a new number nine to lead their line and have Milan’s Carlos Bacca as their reported top target.

The Rossoneri may well be preparing for life without the Colombian, whether he moves to the London Stadium or elsewhere, with Zaza touted as a player that the San Siro outfit covet.

West Ham have also been linked with a move for the Italy international, who has found first-team opportunities with the current Serie A champions hard to come by.

The Turin giants have parted company with an astronomical fee to pry Gonzalo Higuain from Napoli, suggesting that Zaza is set to watch on from the sidelines in 2016-17 again.

As such, Milan and West Ham could well be caught up in a transfer merry-go-round with Bacca and the Juventus attacker involved.
