Chelsea have completed the signing of Emerson Palmieri from Italian side Roma.
The 23-year-old has signed a four-and-a-half-year contract and will wear the number 33 shirt.
Emerson said after joining Chelsea : ‘I came here because it’s a great team with a great history. Today I am realising one of my dreams to pull on the shirt of such a great club.
‘English football is something I have been watching since I was 15 years old. It is a really beautiful game over here but it is going to be even more beautiful to play it.’
Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia added: ‘We are delighted to welcome Emerson to the club. He is a young and talented player who strengthens the squad and will provide excellent competition for places as we pursue success in three different competitions.’
Emerson, full name Emerson Palmieri dos Santos, played two-and-a-half seasons with Roma.
