Sky: Fresh bid goes in for striker

A new bid has been tabled for Gianluca Scamacca, according to Sky Sports.

They report that the Hammers have tabled an offer worth in excess of £34m for the striker, but his club, Sassuolo, value him at closer to £42m.

It remains to be seen if the Hammers will be willing to either up their bid, or if Sassuolo will be willing to drop their asking price.

The Irons have identified Scamacca as a potential back-up target to Armando Broja at Chelsea.

There remains some confusion over Broja’s status at Stamford Bridge, but David Moyes has put him at the top of his striker shortlist.

Scamacca is a target too, but the Irons may well be looking to cast their net wider than originally planned amid doubts in their Broja pursuit.

This is one to keep an eye on, but no deal will happen until the two clubs come to an agreement on the player’s valuation.
