Emerson is moving from Chelsea to West Ham United

After 4 years at Chelsea

West Ham United have signed Italian international Emerson from league rivals Chelsea. The 28-year-old left-back has signed a contract with the Hammers that runs until the summer of 2026 with an option for a further year.

The transfer fee is reportedly £13m plus bonuses of £2m. Emerson moved from AS Roma to London in 2018 for 20 million euros and was temporarily loaned to France at Olympique Lyon last season. The left-footed player made 71 appearances (2 goals) for Chelsea and won the Champions League, Europa League and UEFA Super Cup with the Blues during his four-year tenure at Stamford Bridge. Emerson made 27 appearances for Italy and won the European title last summer.

“He is an experienced player who has enjoyed great success at both club and international level in recent years. He will fuel the competition on our defense and brings with him a winning mentality that we want to develop here at West Ham,” said coach David Moyes on the transfer.

Emerson said of the move: “It’s a big challenge for me, it’s a big team so I’m very happy to be here. I’m ready.
(…) The history of the club is so, so big and when I found out about the interest I said: ‘Yes, I want to go there.’ I can’t wait to wear the West Ham shirt.”
