West Ham United's boss Slaven Bilic could receive a late Christmas present with Juventus willing to loan Patrice Evra to east London and take back Simone Zaza. 

According to The Sun, the former Manchester United player is unhappy at spending most of the season on the bench and has fallen foul of boss Max Allegri. 

It was also mentioned the Italian club are happy with his strong social media profile. 

Evra's relationship with the Bianconeri boss came to a head following the Italian Super Cup defeat to AC Milan with the former accusing Evra of poor marking against Susu for Giacomo Bonaventura's equalising goal. 

Evra still believes he can compete at the highest level and in his eight-and-a-half years spell at Manchester United he won the Premier League five times and the Champions League. 

West Ham initially agreed to pay the fee to make the Zaza loan deal permanent back in the Summer but with him failing to impress it is unlikely the east Londoners will now do so.

Valencia has also shown an interest in the forward meaning Juve will want the player to return to sell him before his contract expires.

It looks as though West Ham's January period could brighten up.
