West Ham United have made a bid to sign Chelsea left-back Emerson this summer on a permanent deal.
football.london understands that the Hammers have submitted a bid to sign the Italian international defender on a permanent deal to compete for minutes alongside Aaron Cresswell at left-back. Emerson has had his chances of minutes at left-back restricted following the £55million signing of Marc Cucurella, with England international Ben Chilwell also competing alongside him for minutes.
The Hammers only have Aaron Cresswell as a natural option in that role following the loan exit of Arthur Masuaku to Turkish side Besiktas earlier this summer
