Former Inter Milan and Italy striker Christian Vieri has said that West Ham United striker Gianluca Scamacca is “far behind” what had been hoped for him in the Premier League.
The 24-year-old has scored eight times for the Hammers since his £30.5million arrival for Sassuolo last summer. However, just three of those goals have been in the Premier League, with the other five coming in the Europa Conference League.
Following his return from a knee injury in February, Scamacca has struggled for minutes and has been an unused substitute in each of the Hammers’ last four Premier League matches, with Danny Ings, Michail Antonio and Maxwel Cornet all getting minutes ahead of him in the league up front.
