(Reuters) - Simone Zaza has joined Valencia on a permanent basis from Juventus, the La Liga club announced on Monday, a day after the Italian striker scored twice in a 3-1 win at Granada to take his tally to four goals since signing on loan in January.

"Simone Zaza will become a Valencia player as of July 1, with a contract until June 2021, according to the terms of the agreement signed with Juventus," said a statement by Valencia.
