Emery is also on Napoli's managerial hitlist as they look to replace Rafa Benitez.

Emery has established a reputation as one of Europe's most highly rated bosses, winning successive Europa League titles.

Sources in Sevilla have indicated that Emery would prefer to stay with the La Liga club for at least one more season, particularly with the prospect of Champions League next season.

And if terms over a bumper new deal for Emery can be struck, then he looks set to stay at Sevilla this summer, despite the interest from West Ham and Napoli.
