Chelsea outcast Emerson Palmieri has emerged as a summer transfer target for three Italian clubs.

The Blues are prepared to cash in on the defender following his lack of game time at Stamford Bridge.

SunSport reports Serie A giants Inter Milan, Napoli, and Lazio are all prepared to swoop for the left-back ahead of the summer.

The publication added Inter appear to be in the driving seat to land Emerson, with the Italian champions said to be confident of sealing a deal in the coming weeks.

Inter are understood to be in the market for a new fullback to replace ex-Man United star Ashley Young who is on his way out on a free transfer.

Nerazzurri's interest in Emerson comes at a time they are without a manager following the departure of Antonio Conte.

Be that as it may, club chiefs want to bolster the squad for Conte's successor thought to be Simone Inzaghi.

Emerson, meanwhile, is among a string of players earmarked for sale as Chelsea plans to trim their squad in preparation for the new season.

Thomas Tuchel is expected to offload a number of fringe players deemed surplus to requirements as he seeks to raise funds for his transfer targets.

Others include Tammy Abraham, Olivier Giroud, Ross Barkley, and Danny Drinkwater.

A new centre-forward is top on the German's wishlist and has already set his sights on the trio of Inter forward Romelu Lukaku, Tottenham ace Harry Kane and Borussia Dortmund hotshot Erling Haaland.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how days after winning the Champions League with Premier League side Chelsea, Olivier Giroud resumed national team camp and has posted video of himself scoring world class volley in training ahead of the EURO 2020.

There is no doubt about the fact that Olivier Giroud is one of the best strikers in the world considering his performances for clubs and in the French national senior team.

French players are in camp as they are currently preparing for their campaign in the EURO 2020 championship which is starting this month.
