Gianluca Scamacca has posted an update on social media as AC Milan rival Roma for the West Ham United striker.
It is not just the future of West Ham captain Declan Rice that is making the headlines in the early days of the summer transfer window.
Italian striker Gianluca Scamacca is the subject of intense speculation too and it very much seems to be a case of no smoke without fire.
Whether it is the forward pushing for a move, David Moyes looking to cut his losses after a difficult debut season or simply a case of Serie A clubs being desperate to bring him back to Italy remains to be seen.
There has been claim and counter claim about Scamacca and his future.
After just 11 Premier League starts for the Hammers, the 6ft 5in striker is being heavily linked with a move back to Italy, most recently with Roma, where he spent time as a youngster.
Striker Michail Antonio made some refreshingly honest if somewhat unwise and unhelpful comments about Scamacca’s situation recently.
Antonio did make a salient point about his teammate’s situation. He merely said what everyone else had been thinking, however unprofessional that may have been.
And West Ham are being linked with a number of strikers including Viktor Gyokeres, Jonathan David and Armando Broja to name but three.
Injuries and illness disrupted Scamacca’s debut season with West Ham. And knee surgery ended his campaign back in April.
Now Scamacca has posted an update on social media as AC Milan rival Roma for the West Ham striker.
“Work begins,” Scamacca said on social media alongside a picture of him using an exercise bike.
With the Italian on the comeback trail it will be interesting to see what happens regarding his Hammers future.
After all the talk of Roma’s concrete interest, Football Italia reports Scamacca is high on the list of Milan targets too.
Scamacca divides opinion among West Ham fans.
Some believe the club should keep him and try to get the best out of him next season. Others feel he is simply not suited to the Premier League or playing up front in a Moyes team.
One thing is for certain, though, if he does depart, West Ham fans will fully expect him to be replaced by a top forward.
