Chelsea fullback duo Emerson Palmieri or Marcos Alonso are both under consideration by Inter Milan.

The Sun says the Blues pair have struggled to down a first-team place under Frank Lampard this season.

It is understood Inter boss Antonio Conte would like to link back up with either of the pair next month.

He is looking to replace Kwadwo Asamoah, who has had a number of injury problems over the years.

Emerson is reluctant to leave the Premier League in January and is happy in London.

Inter are also interested in taking Alonso, 29, on loan next month, which would cost them a £2m fee.

The Nerazzurri would then have the option to buy him on a permanent transfer for £18m at the end of the season.

It is understood the Blues would be looking for more than £30m to take Alonso off their hands.
