What the papers say

The imminent exit of Emerson Palmieri from Chelsea is reportedly all-but-certain. The Daily Express, citing a report in AreaNapoli, says the 26-year-old defender will be free to leave the club in the January transfer window. The Italy international has made just three appearances for Chelsea this season and Ben Chilwell’s return to fitness is only set to make his chances of regular first-team football even slimmer.
