I think we will, possibly have, but if we're up against Newcastle we could have a problem.
As has been reported by Gianluca Di Marzio for Sky Sport. Milan are pushing ahead in their efforts to sign a striker and are trying to bring Scamacca back to Serie A.
He has spent one season in the Premier League which was not as successful as he would have liked, and now a return to Serie A is very probable.
AS Roma are also very keen, but Milan have made an offer which would see Origi head back to the Premier League after his poor first season with Milan.
Origi is open to leaving and Milan would like to sell him, so it seems a logical move if West Ham want the former Liverpool man.
It is not known what sort of fee Milan have offered along with Origi.

Juventus has dispatched representatives to London to engage in discussions with West Ham regarding the potential transfer of Denis Zakaria. The Italian club is actively involved in conducting business with Premier League clubs during this transfer window, aiming to offload surplus players and secure new signings.
Zakaria, a Swiss international, had an unsuccessful loan spell at Chelsea last season, but West Ham has reportedly shown interest in acquiring him for their squad. A report from Football Italia states that representatives from both clubs will convene today to negotiate a possible transfer for the midfielder.
Juventus is hopeful of reaching an agreement with their English counterparts, as it would enable them to remove Zakaria from their roster. The outcome of the meeting will determine whether Juventus can proceed with the knowledge that Zakaria will no longer be part of their squad.
I do think that Hudson Odoi would be a much cheaper option and I also think he has a lot of potential too. So wouldn't be upset to have him competing on the left side. He can also play wing back and on the right side too. So not too shabby
Gianluca Di Marzo (Sky Sports Italy) reckons the asking price is €25m (£21m), we've made an offer of €18m (£15m) but that we'll reach a compromise next week
Tuttomercatoweb say Arsenal want £25m for Nuno Tavares with Galatasaray also interested but allegedly he doesn't fancy a move to West Ham or Galatasaray as he wants to move to a bigger club (un club più importante)
According to the Guardian , Newcastle are ‘leading the race’ to sign the winger. Eddie Howe is keen to sign a new left-winger with Barnes becoming a target.

One of the big issues that AC Milan must address this summer is the signing of a new centre-forward, and Gianluca Scamacca’s name is gaining momentum.
According to this morning’s edition of Tuttosport (via MilanNews), Milan are active on various fronts such as the midfield which needs to be rebuilt after Sandro Tonali’s exit and with Ismael Bennacer injured.
However, a new striker to help Olivier Giroud is of paramount importance and Scamacca is a name on the list. There is strong competition from Roma – the club and the city he grew up in – but the Rossoneri have revived their interest in the last few hours.
The Rossoneri management have even offered Divock Origi to West Ham in an exchange deal of sorts. The Belgian forward was disappointing in his first season with and could be used as a counterpart, with several admirers in the Premier League.
It is no mystery that Scamacca would prefer to return ‘home’ to Roma, but it is also true that he has requested a solution soon and this could help Milan, with the Giallorossi in need of liquidity to relaunch.
Meanwhile, the path that leads to Boulaye Dia should not be underestimated either. The Senegalese striker scored 16 goals for Salernitana last season and has a clause of €25m until July 20. His agents say Milan and Fiorentina have come forward.

He provides a link to an Express article from Monday which states that "Harvey Barnes is reportedly set to snub Newcastle and Tottenham" and that "David Moyes' side in pole position to land the winger ahead of their Premier League rivals".

The Express in turn has a link to a 90mins article from last Friday which says that "West Ham United are advancing talks with Leicester City over the signing of winger Harvey Barnes"

All a bit "Chinese Whispers"
West Ham are interested in Torino central defender Perr Schuurs, according to Sky in Italy.
Schuurs’ contract is up in 2026 with the option of a further year.
The 23-year-old has played for Netherlands at U19, U20 & U21 level.
Why should Schuurs be any better?

The Hammers are also interested in Fulham's Portuguese enforcer Joao Palhinha, 27, and Southampton and England's 28-year-old set piece specialist James Ward-Prowse. (Guardian)
