Yesterday’s game against Manchester City marked the debut of West Ham’s expensive signing. The 23-year-old Italy international Gianluca Scamacca enjoyed his first minutes at London. He did not score, but we think the fans must have been delighted with what they saw.

Gianluca Scamacca stepped up the Premier League football in the second half as a substitute. He played the final 33 minutes of West Ham’s 2-0 defeat, but that was enough to inspire optimism among the fans.

Scamacca.

He won every header.

When the ball was about to be crossed in he hung right onto the last defender, putting himself in a great position.

His ball control was great.

Overall I really believe he will be a top top signing.

Every time Scamacca touched the ball today he linked up with someone or made something happen. He’s going to be 🔝 for us once he’s 💯 fit & ready to play 90 min

Scamacca looks more effective than Antonio and he's been on the field for 20 minutes

Positives:
That boy Scamacca can play.
Declan Rice is worth 200 mill.
Ben Johnson’s cross-field passing 🔥
And finally, that boy Scamacca can play. pic.twitter.com/KOVTGw4J6i
