News about Gianluca Scamacca

Gianluca Scamacca is the subject of one of four Price Boosts for Atalanta's home game against Verona, with the striker having already netted 13 times this season for his new club.  Atalanta pulled off a stunning 3-0 win over Liverpool on Thursday night to put one foot in the Europa League semi-finals, and are also 4/9 favourites to beat Verona in their Serie A clash tonight.  Former West Ham forward Scamacca is joint-second in the scoring charts for Atalanta with eight, alongside Ademola Lookman, and behind only the 11 of Teun Koopmeiners. 

Next week's European second-leg ties could play an enormous role in deciding which the continent's top leagues receives an extra place in the Champions League next season after a slew of surprise results in this week's matches. Liverpool's 3-0 collapse at Anfield against Serie A side Atalanta not only put a huge dent in their chances of making the Europa League final in Dublin next month, but may have also stymied England's prospects in gaining the all-important slot. Similarly, Arsenal were expected to bloody the noses of a beleagured Bayern Munich at the Emirates on Tuesday night, but were held to a 2-2 draw by the serial German champions ahead of next week's testing trip to the Allianz. 

Luke Littler took the time to poke fun at Liverpool's misfortunes just half an hour before facing Michael van Gerwen in Thursday evening's Premier League Darts final. The avowed Manchester United fan was looking to pick up a hat-trick of victories after claiming his first win two weeks ago in Belfast. Last week, Littler bested Van Gerwen in the quarter-finals before despatching close friend Nathan Aspinall in the semi-finals at Manchester's AO Arena - and going on to win his second consecutive evening in a barnstorming final versus Gerwyn Price. 

The Reds stumbled to a shock 3-0 loss at Anfield and face an uphill battle to stay in the competition after Gianluca Scamacca and Mario Pasalic both found the net. Scamacca, formerly of West Ham, scored either side of half-time and Mario Pascalic added a third, placing the Serie A side in control of the tie ahead of the return leg. But Carragher, believing the writing is already on the wall, says Klopp should turn to his reserves and instead focus fully on the enthralling Premier League title race. Klopp, who made six changes from the side that drew at Manchester United at the weekend, admitted there were no positives to take from the performance.

Captain Virgil van Dijk admitted Liverpool were punished for 'sloppy' mistakes after the shock 3-0 home defeat by Atalanta in the Europa League. This competition offers the chance to bring the curtain down on Jurgen Klopp's reign with a European trophy on May 22, but their hopes of making the Dublin showpiece are in jeopardy. Liverpool lacked creativity and coherence in the first leg of a quarter-final that Atalanta are in complete control of heading back to Bergamo thanks to Gianluca Scamacca's brace and a late Mario Pasalic goal.

JOE BERNSTEIN AT ANFIELD: Nobody would have predicted West Ham misfit Gianluca Scamacca as being responsible for killing Jurgen Klopp's dream farewell but that's how it looks after a thoroughly miserable evening for Liverpool. Thousands of Reds fans have already booked flights and hotels for the Europa League final in Dublin on May 22 in anticipation of their team being there in what would be their manager's final game. Those hopes are now dangling by the thinnest of threads after the gamble by Klopp to make six changes went shockingly wrong.

Roma, who lost in four out of their last five league outings, are eighth in the standings on 29 points. They are just one point behind seventh-placed Lazio and Atalanta in sixth place, and four adrift of Fiorentina, who finish in fifth place. When told not to do so, Mourinho turned yellow in stoppage time of the first half for protesting another decision taken by referee Gianluca Aurelio.

And more talking points have been thrown up this weekend in Serie A. Inter Milan continues to lead the pack after winning by 2-1 at Atalanta last season. Juventus are reigniting and have now won five out of their last six outings.

Hakan Calhanoglu and Lautaro Martinez of Inter Milan both scored on either side of halftime on Saturday, securing Simone Inzaghi's side top spot for another week. Calhanoglu opened the scoring with a penalty just before the break, and Martinez doubled Inter's advantage with a shot inside the far post before Gianluca Scamacca pulled one back for the hosts after the hour mark. Inter, who gained 28 points from 11 games, has extended their lead to five points over second-placed Juventus, who fly to Fiorentina on Sunday.

During halftime at Wembley Stadium last night's match between England and Italy, viewers were treated to a variety of commercials, one for erectile dysfunction drugs Cialis. When it was clear that young football fans were watching, parents chastised Channel 4 for broadcasting the ads before 9 p.m. (Pictured from left: England's stars during the match at Wembley, the Cialis advert shown)

Jude Bellingham continued his stellar form with two assists, one for a resurgent Marcus Rashford, and the other for a Bayern Munich player. Gareth Southgate's side made a remarkable comeback after former West Ham striker Gianluca Scamacca gave the visitors a 15th minute lead, but Richards highlighted one of the Italians' finest moments. The EURO 2020 champions were much different from the team that beat England on penalties two summers ago, with a mix of different starters and a new boss.

ROB DRAPER AT WEMBLEY STADIUM: After a 3-1 victory over Italy at Wembley Stadium, England has reserved their places in Euro 2024 for next season. The Three Lions retaliated after losing an early goal to former West Ham star Gianluca Scamacca, winning revenge for the Italians' last ride to Wembley two years ago. Before the break, Harry Kane struck from the spot before the break, but Marcus Rashford's fine strike from out side the box made it two on 57 minutes.

SAMI MOKBEL WEMBLEY STADIUM After a stunning 3-1 victory over Italy at Wembley Stadium, England secured a spot at Euro 2024 next season. The Three Lions responded with three goals after losing an early goal to former West Ham star Gianluca Scamacca, ensuring that they would be returning to Germany as expected. Harry Kane fired from the spot before the break before Marcus Rashford's fine strike from out side the box made it two on 57 minutes.

OLIVER HOLT CHIEF SPORTS WRITER AT WEMBLEY: Even if England was not at their best last night, they came from behind to defeat Italy 3-1 and earned a measure of revenge for their Euro 2020 final loss over the Azzurri since November 1977. Yes, and they qualified for the European Championships next summer. With two games to spare, there was nothing to lose. Jude Bellingham, a professional who holds a reputation as the best in the world, has been inspired by a celebrity. Harry Kane's career helped them win by the 60th and 61st international goals. It's also worth noting out, particularly for those who are still vilify Southgate for reasons that are becoming more difficult to grasp, that Marcus Rashford, a forward who appeared to be out of form and who many have begged Southgate to slow, was to blame. And so, even if England wasn't at their best, the fact is that they beat Italy when England was having an off night. They beat them at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona in Naples in March, just as they did at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Southgate's will be one of the top candidates in Germany next year, which is a distinction they deserved.

Kalvin Phillips admitted to lacking match sharpness and was lucky not to be sent off during England's tense 3-1 victory over Italy on Tuesday. Gareth Southgate stayed faith in the Manchester City star, who has continued to fail for consistent minutes under Pep Guardiola, and was rewarded for his service as the midfielder and Declan Rice kept Italy's playmakers quiet for the majority of the match. Harry Kane equalized from the penalty spot to level terms on the hour mark after falling behind to Gianluca Scamacca's strike in the 16th minute.

West Ham's 'difficult' transfer window ended with a lot of anger for manager David Moyes. With anticipations turning to Luton's Premier League match on Friday night, the Hammers saw their hopes of signing a forward fall short on transfer deadline day. After losing Gianluca Scamacca to Atalanta, the Hammers have been keen to bring in a new forward.

Gianluca Scamacca has been sold this week, according to West Ham. It's unlikely that any of their followers batted an eyelid. The Italian, who cost them £30 million to sign just 12 months ago, has been moved quickly as he arrived without making a lot of difference at all. However, no one should be surprised. When it comes to signing strikers, West Ham don't exactly have a high success rate. In fact, the club is similar to a graveyard for the majority of frontmen. Over 50 strikers have passed through West Ham since David Sullivan and the late David Goldman took over the club in 2010, with over £300 million spent on searching for the ultimate goalscorer. 20 of these guys failed to net once, and their names have been reduced to the status of fiendish pub trivia questions. Only a handful of these forwards can be described as a success. Every single one of them is chronicled in Mail Sport, including what happened during their time with the club and what became of them.

Gianluca Scamacca has left the club and joined Atalanta on a permanent basis, according to West Ham's today. It comes as the Serie A's beaten Inter Milan and Roma to his signature, with both teams having expressed an interest in the Italian forward. Rasmus Hojlund, the Atalanta striker, was sold by Manchester United for £72 million last week.

The forward joined the Hammers last summer in a deal worth £30.5 million, but he was limited to just 27 appearances in all competitions last season. He found goals difficult to come by in his first - and what will now be only his first - year with the club - netting just eight times. West Ham and Atalanta have reached an agreement worth £27.6 million, with personal terms not agreed on, and a deal is set to be concluded soon.

According to Atalanta, the striker Gianluca Scamacca has been agreed to a contract with West Ham, with the forward set to undergo a medical at the Serie A club. Mail Sport had reported that several Italian sides were keen in signing the 24-year-old this summer, with Inter Milan and Roma both interested in the forward. Atalanta have defeated both of the Italian giants to his signature, according to Fabrizio Romano.

Roma sparked an interest early in the season, and the Champions League finalists have climbed to the front of the line. Inter is desperate to sign Romelu Lukaku permanently from Chelsea after his loan spell last season stalls, with the Belgian now a target for Inter's Serie A rivals Juventus. Scamacca is now high on Inter's agenda, but it is unlikely to be the only forward for the club, with Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun another who has a large following.

Gianluca Scamacca, a West Ham striker, has been named as a target for Inter Milan. The Italians have suggested a £17 million budget, but this is likely to be turned down. Inter had been discussing striker Folarin Balogun with Arsenal, but the asking price of about £50 million is too high.

Scamacca has been linked to a prompt return to Italy, but controversies surrounding a refundable fee have put a potential transfer in jeopardy. West Ham, on the other hand, is able to convince the 24-year-old star of the Giallorossi on-loan for a fee in the area of £4 million with a £19 million buy option. According to the survey, a permanent transfer would become mandatory if Scamacca makes an appearance in the 2023-24 season and Roma qualify for the Champions League.

West Ham are believed to be considering a move to sign out-of-favour AC Milan star Divock Origi with Gianluca Scamacca, who remains unidentified. After a fruitful stint at Anfield, where Jurgen Klopp effectively used him as an impact player off the bench, particularly during their 2019 Champions League campaign, Origi joined the Rossoneri last summer on a four-year contract. The San Siro made it difficult for the Belgians to arrive at, with Stefano Pioli preferring Olivier Giroud up front.
