Dharmesh Sheth shares if West Ham United will land both Armando Broja and Gianluca Scamacca
West Ham United are “unlikely” to land both Armando Broja and Gianluca Scamacca, as per Dharmesh Sheth.
The Sky Sports journalist has suggested that the Hammers are trying to sign both with an ambitious double deal, and it is still a possibility.
The Hammers boss is looking to bolster the forward line this summer, and they appear serious about landing the duo.
“People are saying, ‘is it going to be Broja or is it going to be Scamacca?’ As it stands? It’s probably going to be one or the other,” said Sheth on GiveMeSport (19 July).
“But the information I’ve been told is because they’re going for both, signing both hasn’t been ruled out. It’s unlikely, but signing both has not been ruled out. But Broja is the one that looks like it’s the one that’s edging closer more than the other one.”
Make it happen
West Ham failed to sign a striker for the past three transfer windows, and it comes as a bit of a shock for the fans as well that the club are trying to sign not one, but two quality strikers this summer.
The club heavily relied on Michail Antonio last season, and it became very clear that more depth in the forward line is needed.
If the widespread reports are to be believed, the Hammers are close to landing Broja after the club had reached personal agreement with the player.
Thomas Tuchel has suggested on 19 July that contrary to reports, the club are not willing to offload Broja as yet.
The Hammers have also made a bid for Sassualo striker Scamacca and they are waiting for a reply from the Italian club.
The Italy international made a huge impact last season, and he would be a quality addition for the club.
Both the players would cost around or over £30m, and it remains to be seen if the Hammers are ready to spend big to land both the players.
