West Ham complete the signing of Italian striker Gianluca Scamacca from Serie A side Sassuolo for approximately £30m... and the 23-year-old has put pen to paper on a FIVE-YEAR deal at the London Stadium

Gianluca Scamacca believes West Ham is the perfect fit for him after the Italy international signed a five-year contract following his move from Sassuolo.

The fee for the 23-year-old, whose contract includes the option to extend for a further 12 months, is understood to be around £30million and ends manager David Moyes' long search for a recognised centre-forward.

"I've waited a long time for this moment - it's been a dream to play in the Premier League," Scamacca, who scored 16 goals in Serie A last season, told whufc,com.
