West Ham United to announce new Gianluca Scamacca transfer by Tuesday
West Ham United are ready to announce the signing of Sassuolo forward Gianluca Scamacca by Tuesday, according to the Daily Mail.
The newspaper has reported on its website that the signing could be announced in the next 24 hours as they finally bring in a new striker.
Scamacca is due for his medical in London today, with the formalities all done ahead of the official announcement at the London Stadium.
West Ham are on the verge of getting one over the line for £30.5million.
Add-ons could take the final payout from GSBK to around £35million as Scamacca looks finally set to end our striker woes after years of torment.
Michail Antonio has been alone for a couple of years now ever since Sebastien Haller left to join Ajax and has also moved to Borussia Dortmund on top of that before this.
Finally.
We have been waiting for this moment for years.
Antonio started last season on fire but quickly tired out and by the end of the campaign, he looked shot on confidence, fitness and any kind of finishing ability.
Moyes will have made this his main priority, but a new number nine takes big money and time, with no club really wanting to let go of their main man in the window.
We found that out the hard way with Chelsea and Armando Broja, but now the Albanian international is a thing of the past and Scamacca is set to become the main man.
After spending more than £30million on the new man, the question will now be whether or not he becomes the main option ahead of Antonio – time will tell.
GSBK have to be praised for their proactive attitude in this window, and it could end with West Ham United being the biggest spenders, who would have ever thought that?
