Roma 'agree deal to sign West Ham flop Gianluca Scamacca on loan - with £19m option to buy' - as the Italian looks set to end his woeful move to the Premier League

Roma have agreed to sign West Ham forward Gianluca Scamacca on an initial loan with an option to buy, according to reports in Italy.

The forward joined the Hammers last summer for £35.5m but had a disappointing first season which was disrupted by injuries.

As a result, he has been linked with an immediate return to Italy but wranglings over a permanent fee had put a potential transfer in jeopardy.

But according to Calciomercato.com, West Ham are prepared to let the 24-year-old sign with the Giallorossi on-loan for a fee in the region of £4m with a £19m option to buy.
