Is Gianluca Scamacca’s adventure in England about to end? Recruited against a check for 30.5 million pounds sterling from Sassuolo, the Italian striker showed some difficulty in winning at West Ham. Despite a strong start to the season, the 24-year-old was not spared injuries and saw his season come to an early end due to knee surgery. Although he is coming off of a mixed first season in the Premier League, Hammers coach David Moyes is counting on him for the coming season and has also called him up for the pre-season tour of Australia. Despite everything, rumors point to a particular interest from certain Italian teams, such as Juventus Turin or AS Roma, in search of a number 9 to compensate for the long-term absence of Tammy Abraham. Asked about this by the Gazetta Dello Sportthe Italian international (11 caps) feels good in London but has not hidden his dream of one day returning to the Roman club with which he wore the colors in the youth course between 2012 and 2015.
“The club in the suburbs of Rome is my home. Francesco Totti has been my idol since my childhood and what player wouldn’t dream of being coached by Mourinho? I am convinced that he would motivate me and that I would improve even more. But now I’m a West Ham player and despite all the rumours, I feel good here.”, said the Italian to the pink paper newspaper before giving his impressions of his return to competition. As a reminder, he played half time in a friendly match against the modest team of Borehamwood.“It was fantastic to be back on the pitch and I felt good. I will reach my full form by the start of the season. If I’m in good shape, and I’m sure I will be, I’ll score 20 goals.”he ended up concluding.
