David Gold: West Ham to reveal transfer news on Saturday

By Tom Blackburn

West Ham will continue their busy transfer window by announcing some more news on Saturday.

Co-chairman David Gold announced on his personal Twitter on Friday evening that he was hoping the east London club would be able to make a deal public within 24 hours.

Striker Simone Zaza is the man expected to sign after senior club figures admitted a deal to land the Italy striker, who scored five goals in 19 Serie A appearances last season, was close to being secured.

“It’s very positive and it’s a boost,” Slaven Bilic said, as quoted by the Mirror. “We’ve been trying for a long time now to get a top-quality striker and he was always mentioned.”

Managing director Karren Brady revealed on Saturday that West Ham will have spent a club-record £60million in the transfer market this summer if they clinch the signing of Zaza.

She admitted her club were closing in on the Juventus striker and that the fee will be over £20million.

This is set to smash the club’s transfer record for the second time in weeks after Andre Ayew was signed from Swansea in a £20.5million deal.

Brady gave some insight into the London outfit’s behind-the-scenes efforts to strengthen Slaven Bilic’s squad.

“West Ham transfer business this summer has been a runaway train of deals, counter deals, meetings, offers, medicals and, in some cases, crashed hopes,” Brady wrote in her column in the Sun. “The engine to all this is the huge TV revenues.

“My calculation is that transfers are costing Premier League clubs about 25 per cent more than last season.

“We are determined to stay in the race, though, and so far this summer have spent £40million. And if Simone Zaza signs, over £60m, a new record for us.”

Jack Sullivan, the son of West Ham’s co-owner David Sullivan, reported on his personal Twitter account on Friday afternoon that an unnamed player had flown in for talks and was heading to his house.

The 25-year-old has already agreed personal terms with the Hammers, who crashed out of the Europa League to Romanian outfit Astra Giurgiu on Thursday night.

Zaza helped Juventus complete a domestic double in the recently completed season with the Serie A title and the Italian Cup, although forwards Paulo Dybala and Alvaro Morata kept his game time limited.

The striker scored eight goals in 24 appearances in all competitions during the 2015-16 campaign.

Hammers fans will be delighted to sign a striker after injuries to attacking duo Ayew and Andy Carroll.

In other West Ham transfer news, they set their sights on African powerhouse to bolster attack despite Zaza deal.
