Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri has revealed that things are not currently going how he would like them to be for him at his current employers.

The Brazilian born Italian national team wing-back was strongly linked with a potential move to Inter in the recently concluded Summer transfer window and has also drawn links to Inter prior to the previous transfer window as well with Inter manager Antonio Conte said to want a reunion with him.

Emerson has found himself slide further down the pecking order at Premier League Chelsea, who he has been on the books of since January 2018.

The 26-year-old, who has also been linked with a potential switch to Inter’s arch rivals Juventus, is under contract with Chelsea until 2022 and he has made just two appearances across all competitions to date this term.

“When I arrived here I change mentally, I felt I was an important player and part of the group. At the beginning of the season it has not been going as I would like, I just have to work and when I am on the pitch I think about doing my best,” he explained in an interview with Italian broadcaster Rai Sport, which was broadcast earlier on today.
