West Ham United boss David Moyes opted not to hand summer signing Gianluca Scamacca a Hammers debut during their final friendly of pre-season against Lens on Saturday.
Scamacca signed for the Irons and became the club’s fourth acquisition of the summer last week in a deal reportedly worth around £30.5million, with Moyes’ men ending pre-season in France where they were held to a goalless draw by the Ligue 1 outfit.
However, the Italian was one of a number of players who missed out for the Irons in the game, with Michail Antonio, Issa Diop, Nayef Aguerd, and Aaron Cresswell all missing the tie, while Angelo Ogbonna played the club’s under-21s against Dagenham and Redbridge.
