Walter Mazzarri wants to sign a new striker and Zaza is one of the names at the top of his wishlist.

Mazzarri is a long term admirer of Simone Zaza and believes he can get the most out of the Italy international.

The Italy international provides a unique blend between a classic center-forward and the modern striker.

According to Football Italia (via Tuttosport), “Torino are reportedly ready to offer €15m to sign Valencia striker Simone Zaza. The Granata are looking for a new striker, as they struggled badly to score goals this season when Andrea Belotti was injured. They have been linked with a move for Zaza, and Tuttosport reports that the Spanish club would be willing to sell. The Granata are prepared to pay around €15m to sign him, an offer which could well be accepted by Valencia.”
