West Ham United have signed Italy international Simone Zaza from Juventus on initial season-long loan.
The striker joins Hammers on €5m loan fee, with a permanent fee of €20m triggered after a certain number of Premier League appearances this season.
West Ham United have added a star power to their forward line and the latest arrival takes the Club's spending to more than £60m this summer, with Zaza becoming the eleventh signing of this summer for Hammers.
A strong, quick center forward with aerial ability and a lethal left foot, Zaza arrives in East London after helping Juventus with Serie A and he was also featured in Euro 2016 for Italy.
Zaza already played in the London stadium earlier this month where he scored a winner for Juventus in the Betway Cup.
Zaza said: "I want to thank everyone for welcoming me including the fans and everyone at the Club. I wanted to start a new experience and I feel this is the right choice for me. I want to become a better player and I know I can do that at West Ham. Unfortunately we could not qualify for the Europa League, but I am hoping I can help the Club do that next season".
Zaza scored six goals for Juventus and he has a single goal in his name for Italy as well. He also scored 20 goals for Sassuolo before leaving for Juventus.
