West Ham have agreed a £30.5m deal with Sassuolo for Gianluca Scamacca.

The Italy striker, 23, is set to become West Ham’s fourth senior signing of the summer, Nations Leaguestill to be agreed.

Hammers boss David Moyes has spent the close season trying to bolster his forward options and was in talks with Chelsea’s Armando Broja.
