Gianluca Scamacca is just the latest failed forward at West Ham with over £300m spent on 52 players since David Sullivan and David Gold took over in 2010... and 20 'goalscorers' didn't find the net at all!

West Ham confirmed that Gianluca Scamacca has been sold this week. It's doubtful their fans even batted an eyelid.

The Italian, who cost them £30million to sign just 12 months ago, has been moved on almost as quickly as he arrived without making a great deal of impact at all.

But nobody should be remotely surprised. West Ham don't exactly have a good hit-rate when it comes to signing strikers. In fact, for most frontmen, the club is something of a graveyard.

Since David Sullivan and the late David Gold took ownership of West Ham in 2010, over 50 strikers have passed through the club with over £300m splashed out searching for that dream goalscorer.
