Chelsea's Emerson set to join Juventus on season-long loan with an option to buy included

Chelsea are close to agreeing a season-long loan move with Juventus for Emerson Palmieri with talks being finalised in Italy over a proposal that includes an option to buy.

Juventus look set to sign Emerson ahead of Inter, who had long targeted the Italy international and Antonio Conte's side could look to his fellow Chelsea wing-back Victor Moses as an alternative.

Andrea Pirlo's Juventus will also add Fiorentina star Federico Chiesa in a loan deal with a £45 million ($58m) obligation to buy, after allowing Douglas Costa to join Bayern Munich on loan.
