David Moyes has warned against expectation that new striker Gianluca Scamacca will make an instant impact at West Ham — because he isn’t even guaranteed a start.
Moyes forked out £35million to snap up the 6ft 4in forward from Serie A outfit Sassuolo.
But the Hammers’ boss has been so impressed with Michail Antonio leading the line that he’s reluctant to ditch that tactic.
Antonio, who has scored ten goals in each of the three seasons since Marko Arnautovic left the club, started up front in last Sunday’s 2-0 defeat by Manchester City and can expect to take the No 9 role once again at Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
