AC Milan to push for Simone Zaza signing once again

According to Calcio Mercato, AC Milan are willing to return for Torino forward Simone Zaza in the summer. Il Rossoneri were interested in signing the 27-year-old striker last summer but Zaza decided to go to Italy and join Torino instead.

Following his arrival at Torino, Zaza has enjoyed a fruitful spell whilst striking up an effective partnership with young striker Andrea Belotti.

The report adds that Torino have no interest in selling Zaza in January. As a result, AC Milan will have to wait until next summer to have any chance of signing the Italian. AC Milan are desperate to upgrade their attack as they go through a slump of sorts whilst languishing at the 6th spot on the Serie A table.
