Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri has revealed that he wants to leave in the summer.

The left-back has been at Lyon this term, as he was surplus to requirements at the Stamford Bridge club.

He is hoping to remain with the French giants, either through another loan or a permanent transfer.

The Italian international, who is 27, spoke about his future with Foot Mercato.

He stated: "Of course, yes, I have no problem saying that I can stay at Lyon.

"It's a pleasure to be here. There are different factors. It's not just up to me. "

He added: "There are six matches left to play and after that I will have an answer for you all."
