Gianluca Scamacca makes West Ham United transfer decision
West Ham ace Gianluca Scamacca has decided he wants to join Roma over Inter and AC Milan, according to Calciomercato.
His decision comes amid the reports that Roma director Tiago Pinto will fly to London next week to meet with Hammers executives regarding a loan deal for Scamacca, as per Calciomercato.
The striker joined the East London outfit from Serie A club Sassuolo last summer for £35.5million.
Scamacca did, however, struggle in his debut campaign in England, scoring just eight goals from his 27 matches in all competitions.
“Scamacca puts Roma first, preferring them to Inter and Milan,” according to Calciomercato.
Big decision
It’s definitely a big decision that Scamacca must make, with plenty of pressure on the shoulders of the 24-year-old Italian international.
He has shown glimpses of his potential in East London, but unfortunately for the Hammers, he hasn’t shown it enough.
The striker can still go on to have a long and successful career, but it remains to be seen whether or not that is in claret and blue.
There is every chance that he can thrive in Italy once more, having previously excelled at Sassuolo before his switch to England.
The West Ham striker knows the league well, and definitely knows Roma well having spent time there as a youth.
The Italian giants could certainly do with attacking reinforcements given the long-term injury that current star forward Tammy Abraham recently suffered, but their Serie A rivals Inter and Milan would also be foolish to say no to strengthening in this area.
