Report: Crystal Palace want Simone Zaza

Crystal Palace are reportedly lining up a January move for Juventus forward Simone Zaza.

Palace boss Alan Pardew revealed last week that he would be in the market for a new striker this month after Patrick Bamford returned to parent club Chelsea.

According to Goal.com, the Premier League outfit have made an enquiry over the 24-year-old's availability and are waiting on a response from his Italian club.

Zaza, who joined Juve on a permanent deal from Sassuolo in the January transfer window, has also been strongly linked with a move to West Ham United.

The Italian international has scored five times for Juve this season, but just two of those have come in the league.
