Chelsea are reportedly closing in on signing Roma left-back Emerson Palmieri, who is set to fly to London on Tuesday to undergo his medical.
According to Goal's Nizaar Kinsella, the Blues have agreed to pay a £17.5 million fee, plus a potential £8 million in add-ons, and the 23-year-old Brazilian will sign a four-and-a-half year deal at Stamford Bridge.
Kinsella added Emerson's move to Chelsea has been delayed by the Blues' interest in his Roma team-mate Edin Dzeko, but the Premier League outfit have now opted to separate the two deals as the Bosnian looks set to remain with the Giallorossi.
