Frank Lampard 'planning to keep Emerson Palmieri at Chelsea'

A report claims that Chelsea left-back Emerson Palmieri is now expected to remain at the club until at least the end of the season.

Emerson Palmieri has reportedly won over boss Frank Lampard with his performances this season and is now set to see out the season with Chelsea.

The Italy international came close to leaving Stamford Bridge in the summer following the arrival of fellow left-back Ben Chilwell.

Emerson admitted last month that a move away in January may be the best option, but he has featured three times for Chelsea in past three weeks.

According to Football.London, the 26-year-old particularly impressed Lampard in the win over Sevilla and draw with Krasnodar in the Champions League.

Napoli had been expected to make a fresh approach for Emerson in the New Year, but that now appears unlikely as Lampard makes full use of his squad depth.

Chelsea are back in action on Saturday with a trip to Everton in the Premier League.
