West Ham United agree fee to sign Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri.
According to The Telegraph (Subscription Required), Napoli are keen on taking Chelsea star Emerson Palmieri on a six-month loan this January.
Such an agreement will see the full-back spend the second half of the season with the Serie A side. Emerson is behind Ben Chilwell in the Chelsea pecking order and has found opportunities hard to come by.
A move may not be out of the question. While Chelsea are not averse to selling the player, they would preferably want to get rid of him on a permanent basis. (h/t Football.london)
The Italian star played the 90 minutes of our 4-0 win over Morecambe in the FA Cup on Sunday. It was just his ninth appearance for the club this season.
Napoli are keen to bring in a left-back and have identified Arsenal star Kieran Tierney as a long-term target. It would appear that Emerson is more of a stop-gap for the remainder of the season. (h/t The Telegraph)
Emerson’s agent too weighed in on his client’s future. He went on to admit that there have been no concrete offers for Emerson’s services. (h/t Football.london)
“It’s difficult to say anything at the moment. there have been no official offers.”
Chelsea have three senior left-backs in Chilwell, Emerson, and Marcos Alonso. Of the three Alonso appears to be the one lowest in the pecking order.
The Spaniard has not featured for the club since his falling out with Frank Lampard at the Hawthorns. With him clearly not in favour, preferring to sell Emerson above him makes little sense.
Emerson has 18 months left on his current deal at Stamford Bridge. Signed from Roma in 2018, the Italian defender has failed to make a lasting impact in the Blues’ squad.
He has so far made 64 appearances for Chelsea across all competitions. During this time, he has scored one goal and assisted five. (h/t Transfermarkt)
