Jorginho’s agent claims Chelsea team-mate Emerson Palmieri has been asking the midfielder about life in Naples ahead of a proposed transfer.

Napoli are eager to sign Emerson, and the Blues are set to do business.

The Serie A side’s new manager Luciano Spalletti made specific request to bring in Emerson this summer, who impressed for Italy at UEFA Euro 2020 when taking over from injured Leonardo Spinazzola.

Joao Santos said: “Emerson asked Jorginho about the city of Naples and the way of living football in Naples.”
