Arrived on the banks of the Rhône last summer from Chelsea, Emerson (27) has already played 16 games in Ligue 1 (1 goal) in the OL jersey and is convincing as the left side. But while Chelsea is disturbed by the absence of several elements in this position, the London club are reportedly seeking to repatriate their Italian European Champion.
An offer of 4 million euros would have been offered to OL by the club of Thomas Tuchel, a proposal declined by the Gones. And if the Blues still had a hope of bringing back the Italian international this winter, Peter Bosz, present at a press conference this Friday, assured that Emerson would stay. Good news for the Lyon club since only Henrique (27) could have replaced him in his post.
