There's A Reason Roma & AC Milan Want Scamacca! 2+2=5?

Gianluca Scamacca has been heavily linked in some quarters with a move away from West Ham this summer after an injury hit first season with the Irons, strong interest in the striker is allegedley coming from Jose Mourinho’s Roma and Champions League semi finalists AC Milan.

However, Scamacca has been included in the squad for tonight's pre-season friendly away to Borehamwood which may raise some eyebrows, although to all intents and purposes including the £35 Million striker isn't unusual at all, UNLESS the club were seriously trying to 'punt' the Italian striker to other clubs!

The truth is that West Ham United have absolutely NO DESIRE to get rid off the incredibly gifted and sought after frontman, despite what some players have inferred.

Put simply the club have been paying Scamacca's wages for an entire year with precious little return for their investment and having overseen the operation required to fix the issue AND spent a vast amount of time rehabilitating the player it would be insane to pull the trigger on his transfer away from the club, unless someone steamed in with an offer in excess of the £35 Million Hammers paid!

It is after all the silly season for transfer speculation, but nowhere has Scamacca actually said that he wants to leave the club, in fact quite the opposite. So ALL the conjecture about a move is simply that, pure conjecture! Usually if a non British player want out from a club he gives an interview in his native language which quickly does the rounds, but Scamacca has made no such 'declaration'.

There's a reason both Roma and AC Milan Want Scamacca, that is because he is a very good player! You can't always believe what you read, some sources more than others are guilty of adding 2+2 and getting 5! - Ed
