Brighton’s Roberto De Zerbi delivers verdict on West Ham’s Gianluca Scamacca amid scoring woes

Brighton and Hove Albion manager Robert De Zerbi has backed West Ham United striker Gianluca Scamacca to succeed in English football after a mixed start to life at the London Stadium.

The 24-year-old has scored seven times since his £30.5million arrival in the summer, but has struggled for minutes in recent weeks, making his first appearance as a late substitute in over a month during Wednesday’s FA Cup defeat to Manchester United.

Scamacca has played 25 times in all competitions for the Hammers this season, but of his seven goals, just three have come in the Premier League, with the other four coming in the Europa Conference League.
