BAYERN MUNICH striker Luca Toni is keen on a move to West Ham, according to the player's agent.

The Italy international and World Cup winner has been frustrated by a lack of first-team action at the Allianz Arena and has been linked with a move away.

Toni's agent Jose Alberti claims the relationship between the tall striker and Hammers boss Gianfranco Zola is the catalyst behind the move, and he is confident that a deal will be struck that sees the former Fiorentina man sworn in to east London.

“I think it will happen,” Alberti was quoted as saying by TMW. “At Bayern (Toni) is not playing and Zola is a great friend of his.”
