'You've got be more of a fighter, and that's NOT him': West Ham's Michail Antonio brutally criticises team-mate Gianluca Scamacca... claiming the £30m Italian striker is not suited to boss David Moyes' direct style of play

Michail Antonio has delivered a brutally honest criticism of West Ham team-mate Gianluca Scamacca.

The £30million striker Scamacca, along with Lyon midfielder Lucas Paqueta, were the headline signings of the club's summer transfer window in 2022.

But he endured a tough debut season, scoring just three Premier League goals in 16 games and struggling for consistent form and fitness.

And speaking on the Filthy Fellas podcast, fellow forward Antonio questioned his suitability for manager David Moyes' style of play - seeming to suggest Scamacca will find it hard to succeed under the Scot.
