Simone Zaza fears he will miss out on a loan move to the Premier League as Juventus are keen to keep him.

The Italian forward is wanted by West Ham and would be interested in a move as he tries to secure a place in Italy’s squad for Euro 2016.

Yet even though Zaza, 24, has been a fringe player for Juve coach Massimiliano Allegri this season, the club are reluctant to let him leave during the transfer window.

Zaza has scored six goals in 12 appearances this term and Standard Sport understands Allegri wants to keep Italian talent like Zaza and defender Daniele Rugani as the club try to retain the Serie A title while also making an assault on the Champions League.

The Bianconeri are currently two points adrift of league leaders Napoli in Italy's top tier and face a difficult draw against Bayern Munich in the last 16 of the Champions League.
