Juventus striker Simone Zaza is seriously considering a move to West Ham, according to his father Antonio.

'Juventus don’t want to sell Simone to a direct rival. Milan, Napoli and Roma would be the options, we’ll see what happens.'

Warburton slams Aston Villa over Lescott deal
GREG KEOWN: Rangers manager Mark Warburton last night hit out at Aston Villa for claiming Joleon Lescott’s move to Ibrox collapsed because of personal terms.
Warburton insists he had negotiated the fine points of a two-year contract with the 34-year-old before he decided to stay put in Manchester for the sake of his children.
Villa boss Roberto di Matteo was quoted as stating that Lescott did not agree terms on Friday, while his chairman Dr Tony Xia took to Twitter to point the finger at Warburton by posting that ‘Lescott didn’t feel happy with personal term (sic)…. which the boss promised.’
Warburton reacted angrily after seeing second-half goals from Harry Forrester and Kenny Miller earn a 2-1 home league win over Motherwell after Scott McDonald had opened the scoring.
‘Let me be really clear on this,’ he said. ‘It’s absolute nonsense. The personal terms were all agreed. The player just decided to keep his family in Manchester.

SIMON JONES: Newcastle goalkeeper Tim Krul is a target for Ajax.
The Holland international is wanted as a replacement for Jasper Cillessen who is joining Barcelona.
However, Krul is on around £60,000 per week and that would mean the Dutch side smashing their wage structure.
Krul was Newcastle's minstay between the sticks before suffering a severe injury last season.
With Rob Elliot and Matz Sels also within the Magpies' goalkeeping ranks, the loss of the Dutchman may not significantly weaken Rafael Benitez's side.
