Inter Milan are expecting West Ham United to accept a £21.5 million offer for striker Gianluca Scamacca.
That’s according to a recent report from leading transfer expert and CaughtOffside columnist Fabrizio Romano, who claims the Serie A giants are edging closer to landing the Hammers’ wantaway forward.
Having failed to impress since his £35.5 million transfer (Sky Sports) from Sassuolo last summer, Scamacca, 24, is set to be offloaded by David Moyes following a hugely disappointing opening campaign.
Scoring just eight goals in 27 games, in all competitions, it is clear the Italian striker has failed to settle into life in London.
Consequently, after recently teaming up with agent David Lee of CAA Stellar, a summer transfer back to Serie A was always likely for the underperforming 25-year-old.
As for Inter, while a potential deal worth just over £20 million may seem like good business, given Scamacca’s dreadful form last season, the Italian giants will be hoping the Roma-born striker can turn his career around and prove his critics wrong.
