Michail Antonio gives verdict on potential Gianluca Scamacca West Ham partnership

West Ham United striker Michail Antonio admits he can see a partnership with summer signing Gianluca Scamacca working but can see why the duo have hardly been used together this season.

Hammers boss David Moyes has made Scamacca his first-choice striker this month with the Italian now fitter than he was prior to September’s international break, with Antonio largely replacing him in the Premier League or playing in his place when rested in the Europa Conference League.

So far, the duo have played just 45 minutes together across three separate matches, with 13 minutes against Brighton and Hove Albion, 16 at Liverpool, and another 16 versus Silkeborg in the Europa Conference League, with Antonio either replacing Scamacca or vice versa 13 times already this season.
