The Italian posted perhaps his best performance for West Ham United on Saturday.
Are West Ham United fans coming ’round to striker Simone Zaza?
The Italy international is yet to score in any of his five Premier League games for West Ham following a season-long loan from Juventus.
But the 25-year-old offered suggestions in his latest outing that he could yet be a big hit for the Hammers.
Slaven Bilic’s side beat Crystal Palace 1-0 at Selhurst Park on Saturday night for what was their second Premier League victory from eight games this season.
Manuel Lanzini’s 19th-minute winner was enough and although Zaza was not the hero last night, the Italian hitman did post a performance which restored a bit of optimism about his move to East London.
He lasted 86 minutes at Selhurst Park after what was a very hard working and industrious display which appeared to win over a few Irons supporters, if their Twitter reaction was anything to go by.
According to The Metro, West Ham will need to shell out some £20 million and sign the Juve man on a permanent basis if he plays another nine games for the club. It is a tough situation for Bilic, especially on the back of his performance yesterday.
