West Ham have also made a £12m offer for Eintracht Frankfurt left-winger Filip Kostic.

The 29-year-old impressed against David Moyes’s side in the Europa League last season, and his agent Alessandro Lucci also looks after Scamacca.

West Ham also like Leicester City left-back Luke Thomas but the Foxes want £20m for the 21-year-old.

Moyes is waiting on a specialist’s opinion regarding the ankle injury to new signing Nayef Aguerd amid concerns he could be out for up to three months.

It was previously reported that West Ham are continuing to wait on Chelsea’s 20-year-old Albanian Armando Broja.
