​Emerson deflects questions over Chelsea future: Way too early

Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri is not ready to talk about his future at the club.

The left-back is far down the pecking order at the Stamford Bridge club, especially since the arrival of manager Thomas Tuchel.

Marcos Alonso and Ben Chilwell are the two who usually rotate for the left back spot under Tuchel, leaving Emerson out in the cold.

Reports in Italy have claimed Inter Milan and Napoli may want to sign the 26-year-old, but Chelsea have put a £17 million price tag on Emerson.

"It's still early to talk about the future," the Chelsea left-back told Rai Sport.

"I am focused on the national team only.

"We'll see what happens in June.

"Chelsea can go all the way in the Champions League and the FA Cup. We can win something this season."
