West Ham United have allegedly tabled a blockbuster €40 million (£34 million) bid for Sassuolo striker Gianluca Scamacca.

That’s according to a report from Gianluca Di Marzio who claims that the Hammers have submitted an offer worth an initial £35 million for the 23-year-old and are now ready to discuss add-ons/bonuses with Sassuolo.

The Serie A side allegedly want closer to €45-50 million (£38-42 million) for Scamacca according to Di Marzio.

So as things stand, West Ham are not that far away from matching the Italian club’s demands for the giant striker.

The Hammers are believed to be facing strong competition from Paris Saint-Germain for Scamacca’s signature this summer.

David Moyes absolutely must bring a top-class striker to the London Stadium in the summer transfer window. Michail Antonio cannot do everything on his own once again next season.

And it seems as though the Scot has a really exciting plan up his sleeve…

West Ham make Gianluca Scamacca bid

Gianluca Di Marzio reckons that the Hammers have lodged a blockbuster £34 million bid for the 23-year-old Sassuolo ace.

Finally, the club are showing some real ambition and it’s great to see.

£35-40 million for Scamacca would represent fantastic value for West Ham considering Scamacca’s outstanding talent and potential.

The 23-year-old is an absolute unit. He stands at 6ft 5in tall but don’t let that fool you, he’s so much more than a bog-standard target man.

Sempre Inter recently described the towering striker as an ‘unbelievable’ player.

Scamacca possesses exceptional technique and has one of the most ferocious shots in the game at his disposal.

The 25-year-old bagged 16 goals in 36 Serie A appearances for Sassuolo this season (Transfermarkt). He really is a very good all-round striker.

And if West Ham manage to beat PSG to the signing of Gianluca Scamacca in the summer transfer window, it would be a real statement of intent from the East London outfit.
