Rumours continue to persist that Fiorentina ace Adrian Mutu could be leaving the Viola this time, for West Ham United.

English newspaper Daily Star reports that the Romanian international could be close to signing a six-month loan deal with the Hammers, as the player is eager to return to the Premier League.

Mutu could be available as early as January 17, when West Ham take on Aston Villa.

Should the hitman make his way back to England, he could reunite with former team-mate, and current Hammers manager, Gianfranco Zola.

Zola is convinced that the 30-year-old can end West Ham's attacking woes as the east London outfit has only scored 28 goals in 20 league matches.
