      West Ham’s £13m transfer for Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri is back ON after Italian lowers wage demands

      by

      WEST HAM have resurrected a deal to sign Chelsea full-back Emerson Palmieri after the player’s agents agreed to accept the terms on offer.The Hammers walked away from a deal earlier this week over high wage and agent demands and were prepared to move on to other targets.

      However, representatives indicated that – once the two clubs had agreed a fee – they would accept West Ham’s contract terms.
      The east Londoners are now negotiating with Chelsea over a fee, with an initial £13million set to be paid before add-ons.
      Those add-ons remain a sticking point and are still being negotiated but a deal could be struck over the weekend.
      West Ham boss David Moyes has been keen to add a left-back all summer to provide competition for Aaron Cresswell, who may also be needed in a back three.

      They are also short in that position following Arthur Masuaku’s move to Besiktas.
      Emerson, who spent last season on loan with Lyon, would become West Ham’s seventh signing of the summer as Moyes overhauls his squad.

      New £30.5million striker Gianluca Scamacca scored the opener on his full debut against Viborg on Thursday night, assisted by fellow summer arrival Maxwel Cornet.
      Moyes has also added defenders Nayef Aguerd and Thilo Kehrer as well as midfielder Flynn Downes while Alphonse Areola made his loan move permanent.

      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.

      The centre-back, who joined the Hammers in a £30million transfer from Rennes, had to undergo surgery for the issue and will now be sidelined until the end of October.
      As a result, Moyes was forced to set up with a centre-back partnership of Kurt Zouma and full-back Ben Johnson for West Ham’s opening Premier League games against Manchester City and Nottingham Forest.
      The Hammers struggled on both occasions and failed to pick up any points, so club chiefs have pulled the trigger on a £13m bid for Kehrer.
      And according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, PSG have accepted the offer.

      The 25-year-old German defender will travel to London to complete a medical in the next few days before the Hammers officially unveil him as a new signing.
      Kehrer joined PSG from Schalke in 2018 for a £31m fee.

      Navas, 35, is yet to make a first-team appearance this season.
      And according to La Repubblica, he is being tracked by Napoli and West Ham.
      However, it is West Ham who hold the advantage at this stage.
      The Hammers are willing to pay Navas a higher salary than what Napoli are offering.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      Napoli will have to move fast if they’re to beat West Ham to a deal – which will not be easy.
      Navas could be seen as a replacement for Fabianski, who is out of contract next summer.
      They already have Alphonse Areola – also signed from PSG – and Darren Randolph as options at the London Stadium.
      Navas has previously been linked with a move to Premier League outfit Newcastle.

      The interest came before the Magpies bought Nick Pope from Burnley.
      Paying Navas a lucrative wage wouldn’t have been a problem considering Newcastle’s newly mega-rich status.
      However, it is unclear how much Navas would cost considering he is under contract at PSG until the summer of 2024. More

      Boss David Moyes has been desperately trying to bolster his defence during this window after being forced to play full-back Ben Johnson alongside Zouma so far this season.
      And SunSport understands West Ham are confident of completing moves for left-back Emerson and centre back Kehrer this week.
      West Ham are hopeful the pair could even be included in the squad to face Brighton on Sunday so long as they are signed before the Friday deadline.
      A bid for Italy international Emerson is believed to have been submitted by the club on Monday worth £13million.

      However, despite Chelsea being keen to offload several fringe players by the end of the month on permanent moves away, the Blues want £15m for the full-back.
      German defender Kehrer, 25, is in the final year of his contract in France and Ligue 1 giants PSG want a fee of around £16m. He has also been linked with Sevilla.
      Aguerd – a £30m buy from Rennes – is recovering from ankle surgery after a pre-season injury while Dawson is closing in on a return from a thigh issue.
      Angelo Ogbonna is back in training after his long-term knee issues from last season.

      West Ham have also been looking for midfield reinforcements, but saw a bid rejected for Sporting Lisbon’s Matheus Nunes, who is a target for Wolves.
      There is interest in Barcelona’s Memphis Depay although it is unlikely he will turn up in east London with Juventus his expected destination.
      West Ham have begun the campaign poorly having lost 2-0 at home to Manchester City on the opening day before going down 1-0 away at Nottingham Forest last weekend.
      Next up they have Denmark outfit Viborg at the London Stadium in the first leg of their Europa Conference League play-off on Thursday before welcoming the Seagulls. More

      Serie A side Torino can transform the temporary deal into a permanent one if they pay a reported £15million next summer.
      Vlasic leaves the London Stadium after signing for over £25m from CSKA Moscow in the summer of 2021.
      Speaking after joining Torino, Vlasic said: “I work hard. On the pitch i always give 100 per cent. I can’t wait to get started.”
      West Ham were reportedly due to pay the Russian club the second instalment of the original transfer fee this month.

      But that has been thrown into doubt because of the sanctions imposed on Russia after the invasion of Ukraine.
      The 39-cap Croatian international underwent a medical with Torino today before being unveiled by the club.
      He follows Issa Diop out of the door in East London – the defender joining Fulham in a deal worth £15m yesterday.
      Vlasic scored just one goal in 19 Premier League games for the Hammers.

      Nayef Aguerd joined for £30m from Rennes earlier this summer but is currently sidelined with an ankle injury.

      Boss David Moyes thought a raid on his former club would be the answer.
      But the Toffees hierarchy snubbed the offer because of the injuries to Ben Godfrey and Yerry Mina.
      Defender Godfrey is likely to be sidelined for about three months after having surgery on the right leg that he fractured in the 1-0 defeat to Chelsea last Saturday.
      Godfrey suffered the injury as he made a last-ditch recovery tackle on Kai Havertz at Goodison Park.

      It is the second approach that Everton have turned down for Keane in this window.
      Newly-promoted Fulham showed an interest in the 12-cap England international.
