'Plenty more to come': West Ham assistant manager Billy McKinlay gushes over £35m signing Gianluca Scamacca after striker's goal on full debut for the Hammers in Europa Conference League victory

Gianluca Scamacca has been backed to score 'plenty more' after opening his West Ham account as the Hammers began their latest European campaign with a 3-1 win over Danish club Viborg.

Italy striker Scamacca, David Moyes' marquee summer signing from Sassuolo, netted a first-half header on his full debut in the Europa Conference League qualifying play-off.

Jarrod Bowen added a second after the break before Viborg pulled one back through Jakob Bonde's header.
