Scamacca bagged 16 league goals last season and earned a call-up to the Italy first-team, establishing himself as one of the hottest properties in Italian football.

West Ham revealed the news with a classy video, nodding to Channel 4's iconic Football Italia coverage from the nineties.

However, the Hammers had to delete their first attempt after spelling Scamacca's name wrong.

The Premier League side also had Scamacca's new No.7 shirt available on their club shop before the official announcement on social media.

Nevertheless, Scamacca believes West Ham is the perfect fit for him after penning a five-year deal at the London Stadium.

"I've waited a long time for this moment - it's been a dream to play in the Premier League," Scamacca said.
