Emerson Palmieri has no interest in leaving West Ham Fabrizio Romano despite being linked with a move to Galatasaray.
The 30-year-old has started all three of West Ham’s Premier League games this season and looks set to be a key part of Julen Lopetegui’s plans.
It hasn’t been the best start to the season for the Hammers, who invested heavily in the summer, and have just one win so far in the league.
Emerson is not interested in leaving West Ham
Emerson, who arrived from Chelsea in 2022, has two years remaining on his current contract at the London Stadium and has made 85 appearances for the club, scoring three goals and providing four assists.
The Italy international was part of the team that won the Conference League under David Moyes in 2023.
Recent reports had linked the left-back with a move to Galatasaray, with the Turkish window still open until Friday, but Romano has now provided an update on the situation.
He went to X.com and said:
“Despite links with Turkish clubs, Emerson Palmieri has no interest in leaving West Ham. He is staying at #WHUFCvery happy there.”

The news will be good for West Ham supporters, as any exit would have left them short of options at left-back, with Aaron Cresswell the only other natural left-back in the squad.
Despite drawing criticism for his performance against Manchester City, Emerson has been a reliable performer for the Hammers since arriving at the club.
West Ham invested heavily this summer in Max Kilman, Jean-Clair Todibo, Crysencio Summerville and Aaron Wan-Bissaka as they look to build a squad capable of qualifying for European football after missing out last season after to have finished ninth
After the international break, West Ham return to action on Saturday as they travel to Fulham looking to get back to winning ways.
