West Ham have signed Italy left-back Emerson Palmieri from Chelsea on a four-year deal.
The 28-year-old has signed a long-term contract with the Hammers that will keep him at the London Stadium until the summer of 2026, with the option of a further year.
Emerson becomes David Moyes’ seventh summer signing and makes the switch across London having won the Champions League and Europa League during his four-year spell at Stamford Bridge.
Born in Brazil, Emerson moved to Italian football in 2014, was granted Italian citizenship and switched international allegiance three years later. He has won 27 caps and was a member of Italy’s Euro 2020 winning squad.
“I’m very happy to be here and to arrive here,” said Emerson, who will wear the No 33 shirt for West Ham. “It’s a big challenge for me, it’s a big team, so I’m very happy to be here and I’m ready.
