Napoli chasing Chelsea’s Emerson Palmieri

Napoli are eager to bring in Chelsea full-back Emerson Palmieri according to Italian outlet Calcio Mercato.

The club’s main dilemma for years has been the left-back position. Faouzi Ghoulam’s injury has created an issue for incoming managers after Carlo Ancelotti.

His replacement Marco Rui has been far from convincing and could be on the way out to Galatasaray if the right offer comes in.

There are two names high on Napoli’s list for the left-back position: Emerson Palmieri and Mathias Olivera. These two have different profiles for age, experience, and above all, cost.
