Chelsea fullback Emerson Palmieri is stalling on a move to Olympique Lyon.

The Italy international has been in talks with Lyon this week, but Corriere dello Sport says Emerson favours a return to Serie A.

The defender has spoken openly of joining Napoli and playing again for Luciano Spalletti, his former Roma coach.

Both Lyon and Napoli are keen to take Emerson on-loan with the option to buy next summer.

For their part, Napoli need to sell before moving for the left-back.
