'Helpful' - Gianluca Scamacca delivers verdict on West Ham team-mates after £35m summer transfer

Gianluca Scamacca has opened up about his first few months with West Ham following his summer move to the Premier League.

Scamacca joined from Serie A side Sassuolo for a fee of £35million but has yet to get going in his new surroundings.

The Italian forward has found the back of the net three times in nine appearances for the Hammers but all have been in the UEFA Europa Conference League.

Scamacca is yet to break his Premier League duck and has only started once, with manager David Moyes opting to bring the 23-year-old off the bench as he gets used to the speed and physicality of England's top-flight.

Yet to fully learn English, Scamacca has said that he is getting used to the Premier League and that his Hammers team-mates are helping him along.

"The acclimatisation is going well, the group is a quiet group, helpful, it was very easy," Scamacca said via Tuttomercatoweb. "I’m getting by, now I’m also going to start studying to perfect it (his English) but I’m making myself understood."

Scamacca could play against West Ham team-mate and captain Declan Rice when England travel to Milan on Friday to play in the UEFA Nations League at the San Siro.
