The agent of Roma defender Emerson Palmeiri has confirmed talks with Chelsea.
Chelsea see Emerson as an alternative to Juventus left-back Alex Sandro this month.
“There's nothing certain yet, we are in a phase of discussion and evaluation," agent Fernando Garcia of Elenko Sports told Calciomercato.com.
“Chelsea are a concrete possibility, absolutely. Now the two clubs are talking, we'll see if they reach a positive conclusion.
“I have no planned trips to Italy, at least for the moment, as we are waiting for developments. Obviously, Emerson would love to play in the Premier League and it'd be a dream to work with Conte, as he is among the best Coaches in the world."
