Although he looked good in the most recent game against Liverpool when he provided the assist for Jarrod Bowen’s excellent goal in the Carabao Cup defeat, talks were ended some time ago, and his play has seen him fall down the hierarchy.

There was speculation that Emerson, who was developed in the academy, would have had a chance to stay with the team because there wasn’t a strong enough backup for him at left back.

However, Claret and Hugh discovered this afternoon that the player’s and his representatives’ personal demands will not be met.It has been reported to us that they are seeking £60,000 a week, a sum that the club is merely unwilling to offer to a player who is, at worst, a marginal member of the first team.

Next month, the defender will turn 24 years old, and Everton is reportedly still interested in him. The Hammers will be expecting to receive a minor price for the player in January along with another for midfielder Conor Coventry, who will be permitted to depart, as the player only has a few months left on his contract.
