Valencia CF v Real Madrid CF - La Liga — Zaza has had an impressive campaign this season

Valencia were one of the early contenders of the La Liga title this season. The club started the campaign in a fantastic fashion, going unbeaten in their first 15 games in the Spanish top flight. They had a very promising start, special thanks to Simone Zaza, who influenced the outputs of the team with his impressive performances.

After his Euro 2016 penalty trauma and forgetful spells at both Juventus and West Ham United, the striker has come out in style, with his stellar displays for the ‎Los Che this season. The man that failed to score in 11 games at West Ham was seen scoring freely recently.

This season, the attacker recorded 11 goals and 1 assist to his name in the Spanish top flight, scoring against the likes of Real Sociedad, Athletic Bilbao and Sevilla in fantastic fashion. His impressive form also helped the Spanish side to secure a place in the UEFA Champions League next season. Definitely, this campaign will be an unforgettable one in the life of the striker and it could be a sign of greater things ahead.
