Scamacca

West Ham United are reportedly close to signing Sassuolo forward Gianluca Scamacca but one of their former defenders claims that they should sign another ...

“I would have potentially opted for Armando Broja over Gianluca Scamacca, but it is exciting that West Ham are spending that sort of money on a striker. The 23-year-old Rome-born forward, who has played seven times for his country at senior level, scored 16 goals in Serie A last season despite only making 25 league starts last term. It has been widely reported that Scamacca is currently in London and will undergo a medical on Tuesday ahead of completing a move to West Ham. The striker made his international debut last year but is yet to score for his country at senior level.

The Hammers struck a deal, which could rise a further £5m with add-ons, with Italian side Sassuolo last week and Scamacca flew to London on Monday evening after ...

Kostic, who shares an agent with Scamacca, has just a year to run on his contract with the German club and may be content to stay put and play Champions League football this term before moving on a lucrative free transfer next summer. Eintracht Frankfurt wing-back Filip Kostic is Moyes’ next target and the club are willing to meet the German side’s asking price, thought to be around £12.75m, but there are fears the Irons will struggle to convince the 29-year-old to give up Champions League football. After missing out on Jesse Lingard to Nottingham Forest and with Chelsea’s stance over Armando Broja still uncertain, there will be relief at the London Stadium at getting the deal over the line as David Moyes seeks to continue his squad revamp having finally secured much-needed competition for Michail Antonio at centre-forward.

It's an exciting move for David Moyes, who is finally landing the prolific striker he needs in his squad, and Romano has updates on other potential West Ham ...

“Gianluca Scamacca will undergo medical tests and sign as new West Ham player today, then an official statement will follow soon,” Romano explained. Gianluca Scamacca will sign his contract to become a West Ham player today, says Fabrizio Romano in his latest exclusive column for CaughtOffside.

Italy striker Gianluca Scamacca is undergoing a medical ahead of his switch from Sassuolo to West Ham.

That perfectly illustrates the shortage of centre-halves at the club with Craig Dawson also missing the game with a knock not expected to keep him out of the start of the season. Moyes is also understood to be back in the market for a central defender after new signing Nayef Aguerd suffered ankle ligament damage in the pre-season friendly against Rangers last week. The transfer appears to be a real coup for Moyes with Scamacca, who scored 16 goals in 36 matches in Serie A last season, also linked with Paris St Germain and Juventus.

The 23-year-old Italian international is set to test himself in the Premier League at West Ham after his breakout 2021-22 season in Serie A.

West Ham United are closing in on the signing of Italian international striker Gianluca Scamacca and his arrival would bring a key trait that David Moyes ...

Only Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea scored more headed league goals last term than the Hammers’ whole squad and Scamacca combined. In the Premier League, only three players scored more headers in the England’s top-flight last season than Scamacca. Of his 16 goals in the league last season, three of them (18.8%) were headers.

No Jesse Lingard? No problem if you're a West Ham fan.The Hammers missed out on their No.1 target this summer as Lingard opted to join Nottingham Fore.

That could create room for Aaron Cresswell to retain his place in the side and push Kostic into a more attacking role… How West Ham could look to start the season Despite a fast start to the 2021/22 campaign, the goals dried up for the Jamaican, leaving West Ham searching for more attacking depth and possibly even a replacement in their starting XI. The 23-year-old bagged 16 goals in Serie A last season and earned a call-up to the national team as a result. His arrival could be bad news for Michail Antonio, who now faces a fight to be the Hammers’ first-choice striker. Italy striker Scamacca is in London to complete a medical on Tuesday and looks set to be announced imminently after West Ham agreed a £30.5million deal with Sassuolo.

TalkSPORT pundit Lucy Ward believes Gianluca Scamacca's transfer from Sassuolo to West Ham is one of the signings of the summer so far.

However, if and when he adapts, the Italian international will prove to be a superb addition at the London Stadium in the 2022/23 season. It will be important for Hammers fans to be patient with Scamacca, with the Premier League a tough league to adapt to. His ability to hold the ball up and be a target man will be a really good fit for David Moyes’ side, but he can also be a threat in behind due to his good burst of pace.

Italy international Gianluca Scamacca has completed his transfer from Sassuolo to West Ham United and will wear the Number 7 jersey, but a statement isn't.

He started out in the Lazio and Roma youth academies before moving to PSV Eindhoven at the age of 16 in January 2015. The striker returned to Italy for Sassuolo in January 2017, going on loan to Cremonese, PEC Zwolle, Ascoli and Genoa before a breakout season with the Neroverdi that saw him score 16 Serie A goals. The deal was worth €36m plus €6m in performance-related bonuses and a 10 per cent cut of any future transfer fee, all figures confirmed over the last few days by Sassuolo director Giovanni Carnevali.

Identified at 15 as one of the brightest talents in Europe, twice he travelled to the Netherlands as a teenager in search of opportunity. But he was still out on loan at Ascoli in Serie B at the age of 21. The only surprise is the route that he has taken to the top. Gianluca Scamacca has been in demand and it is easy to see why. "I feel like West Ham is the perfect team for me. The Hammers have agreed to pay Sassuolo an initial £30.5m with £5m in add-ons.

Also on behalf of Football Italia – you got his name wrong and wrote Scammaca. On behalf of Football Italia – we are honoured. The Hammers made a new version of the opening credits to Football Italia coverage on Channel 4 in order to unveil their new Italy international striker.

The 23-year-old joins the Hammers on a five-year contract, with an option to extend for a further year, for an undisclosed fee from Serie A club Sassuolo.

“I feel like West Ham is the perfect team for me. “He comes really well recommended – and we’re looking forward to working with him. “I’ve waited a long time for this moment – it’s been a dream to play in the Premier League.

West Ham's new recruit is blessed with the four Ss - size, speed, shooting and skill - and Italy coach Roberto Mancini is a big fan.

“A week was all it took for me to understand Scamacca is a champion in the making,” Zanetti has said. Veteran striker Ciccio Caputo was moved on to Sampdoria last August on the understanding that Scamacca would get more game time back in Reggio Emilia. Then, in stoppage time of an Under-20 World Cup semi-final a year later, it appeared as though Scamacca had sent Italy through to the final with an outrageous goal — so quintessentially him, a kneed-up, back-to-goal, top-corner scissor-kick — only for it to be harshly disallowed against eventual champions Ukraine. It’s hard to remember an Italian player striking the ball this well since Balotelli and Fabio Quagliarella a decade ago. The ball is at the heart of everything and it’s fun. “I used to spend a lot of time in the street, the ball at my feet, with my mates. The Netherlands, on the other hand, had a far better record of bringing players through to first team-level quicker and granting kids opportunities to test themselves against seasoned pros. The power he generated with his right foot made him a threat wherever he was on the pitch. As a Roma player, everything about Scamacca was amplified on the seven radio stations and four local newspapers that obsess over that club. As a scout, you had to have been living under a rock not to have heard the name Scamacca in those days. He scored directly from a kick-off, embarrassing the goalkeeper from the centre circle. Bargnani, after all, comes from Olgiata, a short 20-minute ride up the Via Cassia from where Scamacca grew up in Borgata Fidene on Rome’s northern periphery.

The 23-year-old has signed a five-year contract with the Premier League club.

West Ham are closing in on the signing of Gianluca Scamacca, as the Hammers' hunt for a new centre-forward appears to be heading towards its conclusion.

The forward scored just one league goal for the Reds, before embarking on a nomadic career post-Anfield. Despite arriving aged 30, he spent seven seasons with Chelsea and scored 80 goals in 312 appearances for the club. Ravanelli departed following the club’s drop into the second tier and signed for Marseille, before returning to England with Derby County in 2001. He scored 30 goals in 80 appearances across all competitions, with his finest season coming during the 2011/12 campaign as City won the Premier League title for the first time. He scored twice in the 6-1 thrashing of Manchester United at Old Trafford and provided the assist for Sergio Aguero’s stoppage-time winner against QPR to seal the title on the final day of the season. Di Canio’s influence helped West Ham to a Premier League high league position of fifth in 1999/2000, while he scored one of the division’s greatest ever goals with a spectacular scissor-kick against Wimbledon in March 2000. Balotelli’s spell in England was one of fireworks on and off the pitch, as he mixed moments of madness with magic in Manchester. Di Canio signed for the former from Celtic and finished as the Owls’ leading scorer during his debut campaign with the club, but a moment of madness in which the forward pushed referee Paul Alcock to the ground after being sent off – an incident which resulted in an 11-game ban – brought a premature end to his time at Hillsborough. Zola became the first Chelsea player to win the FWA Footballer of the Year and the first ever to have done so without playing a full season in English football, following a campaign in which he scored 12 goals to hit the ground running. Becoming the highest-paid player in the Premier League in the process, the ‘White Feather’ began with a bang and marked his debut with a hat-trick in a thrilling 3-3 draw with Liverpool at the Riverside Stadium. Vialli scored 40 goals in 88 appearances for Chelsea across his three seasons, before retiring at the end of the 1998/99 campaign to concentrate on management. He won the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup and the League Cup during his opening months in charge, before following those successes with a 1–0 victory over Champions League winners Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup.
