OFFICIAL: Chelsea sign Emerson Palmieri from Roma for reported €20m plus €8m in bonuses on a four-and-a-half-year contract.
Emerson was bought from Santos for just €2m, so to sell him on at €30m will be a remarkable bit of business that Roma cannot turn down.
He played in 24 Serie A games last season, but recovery from a cruciate ligament injury this season has limited him to just a single 15-minute appearance in the league.
However, his move to Chelsea looks to have freed up Kenedy for his much-awaited loan to Newcastle United. Antonio Conte previously had stated he would not let Kenedy leave without having adequate cover at the wide positions, but with Emerson set to arrive, a six-month temporary switch to the Magpies can now go through.

I don't think Chelsea actually need to sign a Left back. we having Kennedy and Baba Rahman. Both aren't giving opportunities and u signing a player that's also having limited playing time. I think Conte is killing this Chelsea team

maybe Chelsea should go back to when they were having the brand name Samsung on their shirt. This Yokohama it's like a curse. among all strikers in the world the only ones Chelsea was linked to is Andy Carroll?? Peter Crouch??? Oliver Giroud????. smh

Conte is not involved recruitment that's why he wants to leave chelsea because they can't continue to impose players on him. check out all their signing since last summer all are flops
