Chelsea disagree with Euro club over £20m striker: West Ham and Crystal Palace also keen
CHELSEA target Simone Zaza is reportedly growing frustrated about the lack of progress over his exit from Juventus.
Chelsea, West Ham and Palace all reportedly want to sign Italy's Simone Zaza
The Blues are thought to be keen on signing Zaza this summer but there is a disagreement over his transfer fee.
Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport claim Juventus want around £20million (€25m) for the striker.
But Chelsea, along with transfer rivals Crystal Palace and West Ham, appear unwilling to go that high.
West Ham have been linked to a host of players, including at one stage Zlatan Ibrahimovic, as they prepare to move into the Olympic Stadium.
Zaza is more likely to be on the Hammers' pay level than the Paris Saint-Germain superstar, as is Lyon's Alexandre Lacazette.
As for Palace, they may not keep Emmanuel Adebayor past the summer and manager Alan Pardew has a big restructuring job to do at Selhurst Park.
The club have plummeted down the league since the New Year but have escaped relegation for this season.

Zaza has scored just eight goals for Juve all season, his last coming in their 2-0 win over Carpi on Sunday.
He was part-owned by Serie A side Sassuolo until last summer when the Italian authorities ruled out dual ownership and Juve bought out his contract.
