West Ham 'very interested' in signing £33.9m star at London Stadium

West Ham are “very, very interested” in signing Sassuolo striker Gianluca Scamacca this summer, according to Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth.

The east London club are currently going all out for Chelsea forward Armando Broja, but Sheth says they are keen on Scamacca, too.

Sassuolo’s chief executive Giovanni Carnevali recently claimed that West Ham had made a bid of €40m (£33.9m) plus add-ons for Scamacca.

The Hammers face competition, though, with Carnevali revealing that Paris Saint-Germain have also tabled an offer for the 23-year-old.

As well as Scamacca, West Ham are also interested in signing Broja. According to the Evening Standard, they have made acquiring the Albania international their priority.

He spent last season out on loan at Southampton, scoring nine goals in 38 appearances for the south coast club.

While Broja may be David Moyes’ priority right now, Sheth says they are still in for Scamacca.

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, the Sky Sports reporter said: “West Ham United are looking at the Sassuolo striker Gianluca Scamacca. He’s another player that they are very, very interested in, and their chief executive Giovanni Carnevali was very public about the bids that had been made for the player.

“Now, he said that PSG had made a €35m bid plus add-ons and he went on to say that West Ham had usurped that bid by bidding €40m plus add-ons. Now, we don’t know exactly why he made that public – maybe to get PSG to raise their offer.”

A Champions League team and one of the biggest clubs in the world, PSG are obviously an attractive destination.

However, can the French outfit give Scamacca regular game time? Probably not. This is a side, after all, possessing Kylian Mbappe, Lionel Messi and Neymar.
