West Ham United boss David Moyes says they'll introduce new striker Gianluca Scamacca gradually.

Scamacca arrived from Sassuolo last week.

Moyes said: "Gianluca has only just joined us, so he's a little bit behind. I'm not expecting him to be available this weekend.

"If you look around world football there isn't a giant bundle of strikers out there.

"We were watching Gianluca for a long time. His link-up play is very impressive, he's young at 23, and I'm looking at having to give him time.

"There are lots of things I like about him already, he's given the team a lift and he'll bring us a different dimension.

"We won't push him too hard too quick and we'll bring him in when we feel he's ready to show his qualities."

On facing champions Manchester City for their opener, Moyes continued: "It's incredibly tough, but of course they're going to come here and have a hard game as well.

“You consider all areas you're up against. They are a top class side which we've seen for many years and I think we'll see that again this year."
