Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri is reportedly keen to leave Stamford Bridge this summer as he is unhappy with Frank Lampard's style of management.

The left-back has made 18 appearances for the Blues during the 2019-20 campaign but has struggled for action in recent weeks, failing to play in the Premier League since January 21.

The Italy international continues to be linked with a return to Serie A, and according to Tuttosport, the defender wants to leave due to his unhappiness with Lampard.

The report claims that Emerson views the Chelsea boss as a 'sergeant' and has not responded well to the former midfielder's 'controlling' style of management.

There is also speculation surrounding the future of Marcos Alonso, suggesting that the London giants will be in the market for a new left-back during this summer's transfer window.

Ajax's Nicolas Tagliafico has reportedly emerged as a potential target for the Blues.
