Stop all the clocks... West Ham have signed a striker! And a good one in the £30.5 million Gianluca Scamacca from Sassuolo. They'll be dancing in the streets of Ilford. It's only taken the Irons 19 months to replace Sebastien Haller.
Looking at Scamacca's highlights he looks like he'd really fit into a Moyes side, a big but mobile man up front who, like Antonio, can occupy two or three defenders. He can score long-range goals, headers and tap-ins, but also produces back-heels. He's an Italian international with seven caps and he scored 16 goals in Serie A last season.The six foot five striker has even been compared to Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Though his family might liven things up. Various papers have reported that his father allegedly smashed up the cars of Roma stars with an iron bar, as you do. Though Gianluca was brought up mainly by his mother and sister and only sees his father "rarely".
This could really change our season and it also means the overworked Antonio — who last season attended more work events than Boris Johnson — will get a rest. Plus Moyes now has the option of either playing two strikers or bringing a quality striker off the bench. Welcome to the Irons, Macca.
