Report: West Ham United to hold talks with Unai Emery

West Ham United have reportedly planned a meeting with Sevilla head coach Unai Emery later this week as they continue their search for a new manager.

The Hammers are looking at potential targets after Sam Allardyce's exit was confirmed at the end of the season, and Emery is high on their list following his success in the Europa League for the second year in a row.

Emery will travel to London this week to talk to David Sullivan and David Gold, according to The Telegraph, and they are believed to be willing to offer him higher wages than Napoli, who have already held talks.

Sevilla are still keen to keep the 43-year-old, but is unlikely that they will be able to match the wages should West Ham make a formal offer.

Reports have suggested that Ajax head coach Frank de Boer, Marseille boss Marcelo Bielsa and Slaven Bilic are also on the club's shortlist.
