Denis Zakaria, a 26-year-old Swiss international, has shown glimpses of his immense potential during his tenure at Juventus.
However, his time at Chelsea was hampered by the club’s significant influx of players, which limited his opportunities to showcase his true abilities.
With West Ham eyeing him as a possible acquisition, Zakaria could revive his career in the English top-flight.
Juventus, one of Italy’s most successful clubs, is currently grappling with well-documented financial challenges.
These difficulties have prompted the Serie A side to explore player sales as a means of balancing their books.
The financial predicament facing Juventus could provide West Ham with a significant advantage in securing a deal for Zakaria at an appealing price.
