Emery: “West Ham made me a very sizeable offer”

Unai Emery has admitted that West Ham made him”a very sizeable offer” as they tried to nail him as their new boss in the summer.

But the Seville manager – also hunted by Napoli – couldn’t resist the opportunity of leading the Spanish outfit into the Champions League.

He said: “I start training on July 6th and I already have the European Super Cup against Barcelona in a month.

“And then we will play in the Champions League. Sevilla gives me this opportunity. Napoli offered me a project with economic strength but without the Champions League.

“And I had a nice choice in the form of West Ham, a very sizeable financial offer.”
