Super Deporte have spent so long bigging up the idea of a Simone Zaza transfer that he now sounds like some kind of cross between Marco van Basten and Roberto Baggio.
Valencia are looking for a saviour and their local sport newspaper believe Zaza could be that man. On Monday they say one of the driving forces behind Valencia wanting Zaza is the player’s ‘character and spirit’.
That’s really not something we’ve seen associated with Zaza for quite some time, if ever, and it’s intriguing as to just what Valencia have been led to believe. Zaza is not someone who is going to turn up and shake the dressing up and down, turning everyone into a fearless warrior.
Unless Slaven Bilic has been hiding something.
It’s claimed Juventus have now given Valencia permission to negotiate a move with West Ham loanee Zaza, which is likely to be a loan with a purchase option linked to a number of matches being played… sounds familiar.
