Gianluca Scamacca has never shied away from moving abroad to fulfill the dream of his life and becoming a top player.
Scamacca is set to become Sassuolo's record sale, with the striker on the verge of sealing a £30.5m move to east London, though the Serie A side withhold a 10 per cent sell-on clause.
The new West Ham striker has lived a very special, almost fairytale story to date, having begun his career in the Netherlands with the PSV youth teams aged 18 following several snubs in Italy.
Scamacca fights for every ball and compared to West Ham's former Italian strikers - such as Simone Zaza, Alessandro Diamanti, Paolo Di Canio and Marco Borriello - he has a strong and robust physique.
