West Ham United are reportedly considering a loan move for Juventus midfielder Denis Zakaria.

The Swiss midfielder had a disappointing season at Chelsea, failing to make a significant impact. Now, with Juventus looking to offload him, West Ham United sees an opportunity.

The Hammers, flush with cash following Declan Rice’s transfer to Arsenal, are being cautious in their approach and are considering a loan deal to assess Zakaria’s performance.

Although Juventus would prefer a cash transfer, they may consider another temporary move to save on wages. If the loan move goes through, it could be a smart move for West Ham, allowing them to evaluate Zakaria’s suitability for the Premier League before committing to a permanent deal.

Furthermore, Zakaria’s importance to the Swiss national team adds weight to West Ham’s interest. While the Hammers continues to search for midfield reinforcements, this loan move could be a step in the right direction.
