West Ham deny the Scamacca rumour that our front man could be joining Roma on loan this summer.

Reports have emerged that the striker is on the Italian outfit’s wanted list and that the Serie A outfit have been in touch with the Hammers.

The are understood to see him as a possible loan option to replace the injured Tammy Abraham and have made contact with the Hammers according to Gianluca Di Marzio.

Scamacca became a near marquee signing for the Hammers last season costing around £32 million from Sassuolo but his future has been shrouded in mystery on a couple of fronts.

First he changed agents when it was speculated that he was looking for a move back to his homeland. Then he suffered a knee injury which involved around half an hour’s surgery but was out for the rest of the season.

At the time of his agent change a key Claret and Hugh source said that he wouldn’t be surprised if the player might be looking for a move.

But tonight we were told there was no chance of the Roma move happening with the same source saying: Zero chance of that happening. I wish we were in a position to loan a player like Scamacca. It really is not going to happen.

Arsenal: Edu could launch Rice & Caicedo swoop

The Gunners are looking to add to their midfield and could potentially launch a sensational double move

Arsenal are still potentially in the market to launch moves for both Declan Rice and Moises Caicedo this summer as they aim to bolster their midfield.

How much is Declan Rice worth?

Although Mikel Arteta and his men may have narrowly missed out on landing the Premier League title, it seems they are not looking to dwell on what could 

It was a mightily impressive 2022/23 campaign for the north London side until the final stages of the season where their grip on the title faded.

However, looking ahead to the summer, it seems as if Arsenal are looking to make some significant upgrades to their starting XI to launch another title charge for next season.

Indeed, the Gunners have been strongly linked with a potential move for West Ham United’s captain with reports claiming they have their opening bid at the ready for the £100m-rated midfielder.

But it also seems as if the north London club could look to add more than just Rice to their midfield this summer with the Brighton & Hove Albion man also on their radar.

And speaking on TalkSPORT, insider Alex Crook has suggested this could be the case with Arsenal potentially launching what would be a huge double swoop this summer:

“Arsenal are still there. I wouldn’t rule out Arsenal signing both Declan Rice and Caicedo because we know that Granit Xhaka is going to leave Arsenal. Midfield was an area where they looked a bit light at the end of the season anyway.”

What is Arsenal’s transfer budget?

According to reports, Arteta is set to be handed a £150m transfer kitty ahead of the summer window which would leave Arsenal seemingly needing to sell a number of players to fund a potential double swoop.

It has also been suggested that Brighton will be looking for a deal in the region of £80m for their Ecuadorian midfielder.

But there is the belief that Arsenal are already eyeing up a number of potential departures from the Emirates Stadium over the coming months.

Indeed, the likes of Jorginho and Granit Xhaka are two midfielders who could soon be packing their bags to join a new club over the summer.

Although that may provide Arsenal some much-needed funds if they are to pursue these two Premier League midfielders, it may not quite be enough.

Neither West Ham nor Brighton will feel pressured into allowing their star talents to depart for a cheaper fee to accommodate Arsenal’s transfer budget.

This will potentially leave Arsenal with a decision to make as to whether they need to spend in the region of £180m on two midfielders or whether the money could be better spent elsewhere.
