      Emerson Palmieri’s £13m West Ham transfer COLLAPSES over Chelsea defender’s high wage demands

      by

      WEST HAM have walked away from a deal to sign Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri over high wage demands.David Moyes bolstered his defence this week with the £10million signing of Germany international Thilo Kehrer and wanted to bring in Emerson, 28, at left-back.

      The Hammers were close to agreeing a fee with London rivals Chelsea following an opening bid of £13million.
      However, wage demands and difficulties with the full-back’s representatives have caused West Ham to put an end to talks for now.
      There remains a slim chance that the East Londoners could go back in for the Italy international, who spent last season on loan with French side Lyon, but the club are now considering other options.
      Moyes is keen to add an upgrade on Aaron Cresswell at left-back having already made six signings so far this month.

      New man Kehrer has experience at left-back, as does Maxwel Cornet who arrived from Burnley in a deal worth £17.5million.
      However, the current plan is for Cornet to play further forward and Kehrer to play centrally at the back following injury to fellow summer arrival, Nayef Aguerd.

      Kehrer, 25, signed a four-year deal with the club holding an option for a two-year extension.
      He said: “I’m very excited to sign for West Ham United.

      Christian Pulisic is also targeting more first-team action and is ready to listen to offers for his services.
      The American star favours a loan to Old Trafford over the likes of Newcastle, Juventus and Real Madrid, according to The Athletic.

      He is one of a number of Chelsea’s attackers rumoured to be unhappy with Tuchel’s system, believing it to be too defensive and restricting them as attackers.
      Raheem Sterling’s arrival plus Chelsea’s pursuit of Anthony Gordon will only reduce his game time further.
      Another forward who wants out is Hakim Ziyech.
      Yesterday it was claimed United are ready to launch an official bid for the 29-year-old winger.
      Red Devils boss Ten Hag is believed to be keen on a reunion with the former Ajax star.

      Man Utd ‘target loan transfer for Christian Pulisic and Chelsea winger is ready to snub FOUR clubs to join rivals’

      MANCHESTER UNITED are planning a shock loan move for Chelsea’s Christian Pulisic, according to reports. The USA captain has grown increasingly frustrated at his lack of game time under Thomas Tuchel, who also coached him at Borussia Dortmund.

      Newcastle United, Juventus and Atletico Madrid are all believed to have made approaches to sign Pulisic this summer.
      And according to The Athletic, United are set to join that list and test whether the Blues will loan the winger out.
      The report adds that Pulisic, 23, is ready to listen to offers to move away this summer and even prefers joining United over anyone else.
      It comes following a lack of game time with the Qatar World Cup starting in just three months.

      Pulisic was linked with United and Liverpool before signing for Chelsea in a £58million two years ago.
      In the period since, he has made 117 appearances, scoring 25 goals.
      Last season, he suffered a period on the sidelines following an ankle injury and made just 13 Premier League starts.
      He finished the campaign with only eight goals and fell behind in the Chelsea pecking order.
      Already this season, Romelu Lukaku, 29, has re-joined Inter Milan on loan and Timo Werner, 26, is back at RB Leipzig permanently.

      And now Pulisic and Callum Hudson-Odoi, 21, are linked with loan moves away to secure more regular football.
      Chelsea did bring in Raheem Sterling, 27, from Manchester City for £50m at the start of the window but no No9 has been signed in replace of Lukaku.
      Thomas Tuchel is believed to be pushing to sign ex-Arsenal captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, 33, currently at Arsenal.
      And Chelsea have seen a shock £40m bid REJECTED by Everton for starlet Anthony Gordon.
      German Kai Havertz, 23, and Sterling will look to lead the line for Tuchel if no more additions are brought in before the September 1 deadline.
      Meanwhile, United boss Erik ten Hag is ready to allow Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, to leave and rumours suggest his contract could be ripped up.
      So it would leave a space in Ten Hag’s front line of which Pulisic would be primed to fill.

      New Chelsea owner Todd Boehly plots plan to dish out SEVEN-YEAR contracts with Mount and James in line for bumper deals

      by

      CHELSEA want seven-year contracts for their best players aged under 25 – with Mason Mount and Reece James first in line.That’s according to the Mail, who say new club owner Todd Boehly is keen on US-style long deals for youngsters.

      It’s thought England stars Mount and James will be joined on the list by striker Armando Broja – a top target for Newcastle and West Ham.
      It comes as the Blues reportedly agreed a £17million deal for Inter Milan midfielder Cesare Casadei, 19.
      And it shows how Boehly is reshaping the Stamford Bridge set-up on and off the pitch – with the club also in talks over extending boss Thomas Tuchel’s deal.
      American sports clubs often try to pin down starlets for their peak years.

      And playmaker Mount, 23, plus 22-year-old wing-back James, are already established as first-team regulars.
      Both also seem certain to be part of Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions’ squad for the World Cup in Qatar this winter.
      But attempting to lock Broja, 20, into a lengthy stay could also be a smart piece of financial work.
      That’s because it’s understood his admirers have been considering paying out up to £30million for the Albania star, who shone on loan for Southampton last season.

      The suggestion is, however, that seven years would be the outer limit if Chelsea do adopt the radical policy of huge extended contracts.
      Earlier this month £62m Brighton left-back Marc Cucurella, 24, and Aston Villa midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka, 18, arrived on six-year deals.

      Yet Everton are determined to hold onto their prized player and are insisting they will not welcome any more bids even though Chelsea might return with another offer.
      Chelsea’s second attempt came on the back of a verbal £40m offer which was turned down.
      Everton have already waved away verbal offers from both Spurs and Newcastle who were both keen to land the rising star who only made his senior debut in January 2020.
      Gordon, 21, who has three years left on his current contract, had indicated he was prepared to move to London to play for either Spurs or Chelsea.

      Everton are determined to give him another new contract but for the time being at least, Gordon has indicated he will run the contract down.
      Goodison Park boss Frank Lampard is determined to keep Gordon, especially after the club sold Richarlison to Spurs for £60m.
      And they have also been without Dominic Calvert-Lewin for the opening two games of the campaign after he suffered an injury.
      Everton are yet to get off the mark this season following back-to-back defeats.
