West Ham striker Antonio: Scamacca lacks fighting qualities Moyes needs

West Ham striker Michail Antonio has taken a dig at teammate Gianluca Scamacca.

Ahead of next week's Europa Conference League final, Antonio took aim at the Italian's character.

“He's a quality player," Antonio said during an appearance on the Filthy Fellas podcast. “The problem is, he can't play the way the gaffer plays. He needs a different type of manager to play his type of football, [one who can] have other players play off him and stuff like that.

“You can see it, when the ball comes into him it sticks and he's tidy.

"But the way David Moyes plays, if you're up front you're dealing with scraps and you've got to be more of a fighter, that's not him."
