Juventus interested in Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri?

Juventus will reportedly line up a move for Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri ahead of next summer's transfer window.

The Italian worked alongside Juventus boss Maurizio Sarri during the 2018-19 campaign, playing an important part in the club's Europa League campaign during which he made 11 appearances.

Sarri, whose Juventus side are second in Serie A, is determined to secure some cover for first-choice left-back Alex Sandro.

According to Tuttosport, the Old Lady will keep a close eye on the 25-year-old's situation ahead of the summer window.

Emerson, who has made 12 appearances in all competitions under Frank Lampard this season, has previously featured for Palermo and Roma in Serie A.
