Gianluca Scamacca has thrust himself into contention to kickstart West Ham’s Premier League season after another goal in Europe.
The Italy striker, a £30million summer signing from Sassuolo, scored his second goal in two play-off ties against Danish side Viborg as the Hammers booked their place in the group stage of the Europa Conference League.
Scamacca has yet to start a Premier League game but, with West Ham bottom of the table without a point or a goal from their first three matches, he must be in line to start at Aston Villa on Sunday.
Manager David Moyes told the club website: “I thought Gianluca did a lot of good things. “Again, we can’t be expecting too much from him too soon.
