West Ham boss David Moyes sends clear Gianluca Scamacca message!

West Ham Boss David Moyes has addressed all the comparisons between Gianluca Scamacca and Marko Arnautovic

He said: ‘I don’t think you’ll get many Markos, Marko was a one off. Marko was a great guy, I really got on well with Marko and liked him a lot because sort of he challenged me, I sort of challenged him back. He stood up to me and showed that all of the things I didn’t think he could do, he did do.

“He went on to do them really well and has continued to do them well. Gianluca is interesting because he’s a really good lad, really nice lad and he’s got some great traits. Lots of really good hold up play, stature, can score with his head, got good feet, close control.

“A cannon in his right foot, so he’s go an awful lot of traits that make you go ‘wow.’ He’s got a lot of things which I think he could do better.

“I think he needs to get in the box quicker, sometimes he’s laboured outside but I think that’s partly because he’s nearly hoping he gets it outside because he’s got a boom of a right foot. His movement is good, there’s bits that I think he can look at which we’re going to show him and we think we can help him, but he’s a really good character.

“I keep saying this, to find really good young centre forwards nowadays is really hard, the level. I watched Salzburg last night against Chelsea, it was a great game. The quality that Salzburg have got, young centre forwards, knowing what’s required.

“It’s so difficult nowadays to get someone who can come in make a difference as a centre forward, really really hard.

“(Harry) Kane’s and there’s some really special centre forwards, (Erling) Haaland, (Gabriel) Jesus at Arsenal are all special.

“To get one like that is really, really hard so we’re hoping that he’s going to get better and the big thing about him is he’s really all ears, everything at the moment is exciting to him in the Premier League and new, which we hope he will
