    Gianluca Scamacca stands at 6ft 5in, with his build, work rate and striking prowess seeing him dubbed as 'the next Zlatan Ibrahmovic'.

    Gianluca Scamacca is an Italian international striker who plays for Serie A side Atalanta.

    A real nuisance for defenders, Scamacca has also shown proficiency in creating chances as well as scoring them. During his season with Genoa, Scamacca was averaging 1.8 shot-creating actions per 90, higher than Serie A stars Dusan Vlahovic and Rafael Leao.

    After a successful season in Serie A with Sassuolo, Scamacca made a big money move to the Premier League with West Ham.

    But he only lasted one season in England after a miserable stint in East London, where he started only 16 times for the club.

    In August 2023, he returned to Italy to join Atalanta for a reported fee of £22m.
