BRAZILIAN DEFENDER EMERSON PALMIERI HAS COMPLETED A MOVE TO CHELSEA


Emerson Palmieri completes move to Chelsea from Roma
Chelsea have completed the signing of Brazilian defender Emerson Palmieri, and the 23-year-old will be at Stamford Bridge for the next four years.

Chelsea were initially linked with Juventus defender Alex Sandro, but the Italian club refused to do any business with the Blues.

The Blues' gaffer Antonio Conte then turned his attention to Brazilian defender Emerson Palmieri before Italian club Roma finally agreed to sell him on Tuesday night, January 30.

Emerson Palmieri is reported to have completed a £17.5 million move to Chelsea from Roma and he is expected to be a cover up for Marcos Alonso.

Palmieri began his career at Santos in 2012 and spent a year on loan at Palmero before joining Roma in 2015. He will wear number 33 shirt at Chelsea.

"I came here because it’s a great team with a great history. "Today I am realizing one of my dreams to pull on the shirt of such a great club.

"English football is something I have been watching since I was 15 years old. It is a really beautiful game over here but it is going to be even more beautiful to play it." Palmieri was quoted to have said by UK Sun.

Chelsea are currently occupying third position on the Premier League table with 50 points from 24 games played so far this season.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
