Emerson Palmieri is one of Antonio Conte’s top targets ahead of the upcoming Summer transfer window according to a report from Italian news outlet CalcioMercato.com.
Conte would like to revolutionise the wing back department and only Antonio Candreva, Ashley Young and Danilo D’Ambrosio are certain to still be with the club next season of the current crop.
Conte would like to bring in players who are tactically versatile and Palmieri is exactly that given he can play as a wing back or he can even play as a centre back too if so required.
The Chelsea defender will come far from cheap though the report warns and it states that Inter will need to move some of the current crop of wing backs on to free up space and raise funds to sign him.
This season Palmieri has made 18 appearances across all competitions in which he has provided a single assist in 1341 minutes.
