Chelsea fought off big competition to keep hold of Emerson Palmieri this summer.

TMW says Juventus, AC Milan and Inter all made attempts for Emerson in the past summer.

The fullback's involvement in Chelsea's Europa League title win last season caught the eye of Serie A clubs.

But Chelsea's high valuation - over 25m - and the club's transfer ban, hindered his possible sale.

Emerson is now in advanced talks over a new contract.
