West Ham United manager David Moyes has been told by one of striker Gianluca Scamacca’s former youth coaches that the Italian will prove his worth at the London Stadium.
Scamacca, who signed for the Hammers for £30.5million in the summer (rising to £35.5million after add-ons) has had a mixed time of it in recent months, having initially started life in England with a run of goals.
However, after missing a month of action with a knee injury, Scamacca returned to the squad last month but has been an unused substitute in the Hammers’ last four Premier League matches since returning to the squad.
