West Ham are set to sign Sassuolo striker Gianluca Scamacca with a medical scheduled for tomorrow, according to Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano brought us the news last week that the Hammers had agreed a fee for the Italy international, while Scamacca was also happy with personal terms.
And now Sheth claims the 23-year-old will fly to London tonight before undergoing a medical tomorrow where he will sign a five-year deal.

“The 29-year-old has, though, entered the final year of his contract with the Bundesliga side. Left-back has been a priority position this summer for [David] Moyes.”

Sheth continued: “We understand Blackburn Rovers forward Ben Brereton Diaz is one of a number of players West Ham are looking at this summer.
“The Chile international has entered the final year of his contract at Ewood Park. The Championship side are thought to want around £15m for the 23-year-old.
