According to CalcioMercato, West Ham striker Gianluca Scamacca is determined to return to Italy and is Tiago Pinto, Roma’s director of football,’s top choice. Fresh negotiations between the Serie A heavyweights and the Hammers are expected to take place this week in an effort to reach a deal for the attacker, according to the Italian news outlet’s report from Tuesday.
However, it adds that Jose Mourinho, the manager of Roma, does not share Pinto’s viewpoint and is eager to bring the Spanish international Alvaro Morata to Rome. Given that Scamacca was born in Rome and played for the team’s academy for three years, it is not surprising to learn that he is interested in moving to Roma.
While injuries haven’t helped his situation since moving to the East Londoners in a high-profile deal from Sassuolo last summer, it hasn’t worked out for him at all, and he doesn’t appear to fit into David Moyes’s style of play. It is naturally very enticing for him to return to his hometown and play for a major club like Roma under Mourinho, and he will be trying to restart his career.

It will be fascinating to see how this trade progresses over the next few days given that the Portuguese manager is apparently at conflict with Pinto and is in favor of a move for Morata. The most important thing for the Hammers is to make sure we get the most money for him so we can bring in a quality replacement who will be more compatible with the way Moyes wants his center-forward to play.
West Ham Eyeing For Confirming The Southampton Midfielder
West Ham United, managed by David Moyes, is allegedly prepared to make an offer for James Ward-Prowse of Southampton. Southampton, who was demoted from the Premier League and will compete in the Championship next year, is prepared to transfer Ward-Prowse.
The 28-year-old midfielder for the England national team is wanted by the Saints for £40 million in transfer fees, according to The Daily Mail. West Ham is allegedly prepared to make a £20 million offer. This summer, Ward-Prowse had inquiries from about ten teams, but his age has prevented him from joining the top clubs.
With the money received from the sale of Declan Rice to Arsenal, West Ham is looking to sign both him and a more robust holding midfielder, such as Juventus’ Denis Zakaria or Leeds United’s Tyler Adams. In the summer transfer window, West Ham United could be able to get James Ward-Prowse from Southampton.
After all, if Southampton values Ward-Prowse at £40 million, they are not going to sell him for half that amount, especially given that he is now at the height of his career and has significant Premier League experience. The only thing that could work in West Ham’s favor is the midfielder’s desire to sign with the London-based team.
