David Moyes explains West Ham's Emerson Palmieri transfer decision and impact on Aaron Cresswell

West Ham United manager David Moyes has expressed his delight at adding an "experienced player with a good pedigree" after signing Emerson Palmieri from Chelsea.

The Italian international has become the Hammers' seventh summer signing after putting pen to paper on a four-year contract with the club, with a one-year option. He joins for an undisclosed fee from fellow Premier League club Chelsea.

He will give Moyes another option at left-back to compete with Aaron Cresswell after Arthur Masuaku left to join Besiktas on loan, with the West Ham boss speaking of how pleased he is to add more proven Premier League, European and international experience to his squad.
