The last place Emmanuel Emegha thought he might be playing this season would be in Italy. However, as the deadline draws near, the new Chelsea striker could be shipped out on loan immediately.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was believed that Xabi Alonso<\/a> had picked his three-man strike force<\/a> this season. Joao Pedro as first choice, with veteran Danny Welbeck supporting him. Emegha<\/a> has joined from Strasbourg this summer.<\/p>\n

Chelsea CANNOT sell Enzo Fernandez this season \u2013 prove us wrong!<\/h3>\n

Our season rests on him staying this summer\u2026<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The Dutchman endured a difficult 2025-26, with injury and left Strasbourg on bad terms. His pre-season at Chelsea didn\u2019t go to plan either<\/a>, having missed the tour of Australia and Asia due to a muscle injury.<\/p>\n

However, Alonso looked as though he was going to give Emegha a chance. Now, the striker could end up in Italy if new reports are true, despite Marc Guiu, Liam Delap and Nicolas Jackson possibly departing too.<\/p>\n

Fiorentina eye shock move to sign Emmanuel Emegha<\/h2>\n

Clearly, Emegha\u2019s agents remain at work, or the club have not made a full decision regarding the striker. His last 12 months have been tricky, and it may be that Alonso wants to see him impress on loan, at first.<\/p>\n

That is because widely-respected journalist Nicolo Schira<\/a> has claimed on X that Fiorentina are interested in doing a deal to sign Emegha. Obviously, a deal is likely to be a loan for Emegha if he were to depart.<\/p>\n

While Emegha might feel hard done by that he\u2019s not even earned himself a chance, he may even feel himself that he is not going to play much football \u2013 and would be better off impressing Alonso from afar.<\/p>\n

Fiorentina struggled last season, but they saved themselves from relegation after their work in January kept them up. They signed Manor Solomon and Jack Harrison from Premier League clubs on loan.<\/p>\n

Emegha could face Benoit Badiashile and Trevoh Chalobah<\/h2>\n

Chalobah made his competitive debut for Como on Saturday and earned praise from the Italian media after a 1-1 draw against Udinese. It came on the same day that Napoli finally announced Badiashile.<\/p>\n

Napoli then secured a superb 2-0 away win over Genoa, with Kevin De Bruyne scoring. Now, Chalobah and Badiashile could find themselves marking Emegha throughout the 2026-27 campaign if he does join.<\/p>\n

Fiorentina host Napoli on September 20, less than a month before a possible reunion between Emegha and Badiashile \u2013 even if their initial meeting might have been brief. Fiorentina face Como on October 17.<\/p>\n

It is interesting to learn what Chelsea\u2019s stance on Emegha is. But Fiorentina are interested, and if Chelsea do make him available for a loan, there is sure to be plenty of interest from around Europe this summer.<\/p>\n
