Striker Gianluca Scamacca, who joined the Hammers in a significant deal last summer, has attracted interest from Italian clubs. Inter Milan recently submitted a €20 million (£17.1 million) offer, which West Ham rejected. Reports indicate that Scamacca is keen on returning to Italy, and Inter may increase their bid to around €25 million (£21.4 million). West Ham values the player closer to €30 million (£25.7 million).
In terms of reinforcements, West Ham have shown interest in Lille’s striker Jonathan David, who is set to become a free agent this summer. The Hammers have reportedly made an “irresistible financial offer” to secure his services, though they face competition from other Premier League clubs, including Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. David has expressed his intention to leave Lille at the end of the season, aiming to join a top club.
Additionally, West Ham are targeting Sunderland’s 17-year-old midfielder Chris Rigg to invigorate their midfield options. Manager Graham Potter is eager to boost the team’s midfield, and internal discussions about Rigg have taken place. However, Sunderland holds leverage as Rigg is under a three-year contract and is involved in their promotion campaign.
These developments underscore West Ham’s strategic approach to strengthening their squad while managing potential high-profile departures. The club aims to balance its roster to compete effectively in the Premier League and other competitions.
