Updates are expected over the coming weeks, with the Roman club desperate to find a reliable backup for star striker Ciro Immobile. Vedat Muriqi, the current incumbent in the role, is expected to leave the club next month after failing to convince Sarri of his qualities.
The 30-year-old Zaza, who is contracted to Torino until 2023, has made seven Serie A appearances so far this season, for a total of 99 minutes.
