West Ham defender Emerson on his 'amazing' UEFA trophy record: I want one more!

West Ham defender Emerson Palmieri is on the brink of extending his stunning UEFA record.

The Italy international is the only player in history to win the Champions League, Europa League and Euros. And he can add to that on Wednesday when facing Fiorentina in the Europa Conference League.

“It's a good thing to have another final in my life and my career, so it's a good opportunity to win and to make history for this Club, so now it's time to think about this game because it's very important for us and let's see if we can win this trophy," Emerson told whufc.com.

“It's amazing because it's in front of me and it's not far. It's just one step more and I can win another important trophy and write my name in the history of football. I hope everything is going to be well, be good and let's see on 7 June if we can take this trophy!"

He added: “Fiorentina have a good team. They reached the final and I have seen some of their games this season and they are a good offensively and have individual qualities and good players, so for sure it's not going to be an easy game. I know the culture of Italian teams very well, so it's a big game!"
