Edimilson has struggled to make an impact for West Ham, after signing for £5.5m two years ago from FC Sion. The Hammers have been busy in the summer transfer window signing nine players and

it looks like Manuel Pellegrini is looking to trim his squad and wage bill. With the arrival of midfielders Jack Wilshere, Felipe Anderson and Carlos Sanchez, Edimilson’s chances of first

team football would have been scarce for the Hammers. The 22-year-old Swiss international’s progress at the club has been limited because of injuries. Edimilson has only made 42 Premier

League appearances for the club, during which he contributed a single assist. His move to Fiorentina is part of the deal taking Colombia international Carlos Sanchez to London, reports the

Evening Standard. The Serie A club are believed to have paid an initial loan fee of around £900,000, with an option to make the move permanent for a fee of £7.2m. His availability has

attracted a number of clubs in Italy, including Sampdoria, but he ultimately opted for a move to Florence. Fiorentina have been busy searching the Premier League for talented players, as

they have also agreed a season-long loan deal for Everton winger Kevin Mirallas, during this summer window. West Ham face Liverpool on Sunday and Pellegrini insists he believes that

competition in the squad for playing time is key if the Hammers are to have a successful season. “Maybe it is one of the most difficult things for a manager, because all of them want to play

and with better players, more problems,” said the 64-year-old Chilean. “But for me it is more difficult if you don’t have players. “When you just have 11 there would be no problem, same

starting XI every week. “I would have to chose the starting XI but also they know that if during the whole season if you don’t have a strong squad, it is difficult to be successful. “But

that is impossible for the amount of games, for the injuries that players have. For me as a manager it is more easy to have more good players, and some of them must wait, but to have that

option to change. “We have players in two different players in each position and they must work in a competitive way between them. Then I make the decisions, options wise, on who plays.”
