West Ham United are closing in on their seventh signing of the summer transfer window as they look to secure the services of Chelsea defender Emerson.
The Brazil-born Italian international is set to finalise a move to the London Stadium on Tuesday after personal terms and a deal between the Hammers and the Blues were agreed on Monday. Emerson will move to David Moyes’ side for an initial £13million fee that could rise up to £15m in achievable future add-ons, once a medical is completed.
His arrival will take the club’s summer spending to around £125m, although it is understood the club are set to hold talks with Club Brugge over a move for midfielder Hans Vanaken, although no progress has been made at this stage.
