Emmanuel Emegha has been linked with a loan move to Serie A, but we’re not convinced by it.

Italian transfer insider Nicolo Schira has today claimed that Serie A side Fiorentina are pushing to try and sign Chelsea striker Emmanuel Emegha.
The Dutch forward has only just arrived from Strasbourg, but there’s already the suggestion he could be on his way out. He barely played last season with injury, and this year finds himself in a squad that’s got far more striker options than it needs, and has no European football either,
Change could change plans to send Emegha on unexpected loan
We have our doubts about this – the situation has seemed pretty clear. Emegha is set to stay in the squad with Joao Pedro and Danny Welbeck as our three striker options, while Nicolas Jackson, Liam Delap and Marc Guiu will be sold or loaned.
Of course, plans could always change. If there are good offers for Emegha and none for Jackson, there could yet be a pivot. But right now, we’d be surprised if Chelsea don’t stick to their strategy for now.
This last week of the window needs to see some serious breakthroughs in our striker area, right now it’s looking like a disaster.
