West Ham United transfer news: Gianluca Scamacca a transfer target for David Moyes on one condition

West Ham have turned their attention to Sassuolo striker Gianluca Scamacca as David Moyes looks to bolster his attack in the summer transfer window.

The signing of Scamacca would be a gamble for the Hammers. He has had a great season for Sassuolo but there is a chance he
