Slaven Bilic has chased a centre forward for much of this transfer window
West Ham United expect to complete the £24 million signing of Juventus forward Simone Zaza.
The Italy international has fallen out of favour in Turin, following the arrival of Gonzalo Higuain from Napoli.
Zaza, 25, has reportedly agreed personal terms with the Hammers and is in London for his medical.
West Ham boss Bilic suggested that the deal could be complete as early as today.
