Style of play

Emerson usually plays as a left-back, and is known for his stamina, athleticism, physical qualities, and technique, which make him an effective offensive asset. He is also known for his ability to get past opponents and provide crosses into the penalty box. A versatile player, he is also capable of playing as a wing-back or wide midfielder on the left flank, and has even been used in a more advanced role as an offensive winger on occasion. Emerson's Chelsea profile notes that he is "skilful, possesses a good range of passing and reads the game well".{{cite news |url=http://livesicilia.it/2014/08/26/emerson-bamba-gonzalez-chi-sono-i-nuovi-volti-rosa_531235/ |title=Emerson, Bamba, Gonzalez Chi sono i nuovi volti rosa |work=livesicilia.it |language=Italian |last1=Gullà |first1=Marco |date=26 August 2014 |access-date=22 June 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140827040323/http://livesicilia.it/2014/08/26/emerson-bamba-gonzalez-chi-sono-i-nuovi-volti-rosa_531235/ |archive-date=27 August 2014 }}{{cite web |url=https://www.ultimouomo.com/limpensabile-ascesa-di-emerson-palmieri/ |title=L'impensabile ascesa di Emerson Palmieri |publisher=L'Ultimo Uomo |language=it-IT |last1=Saltari |first1=Dario |date=22 March 2017 |access-date=22 June 2021 }}{{cite news |url=https://www.corrieredellosport.it/news/calcio/serie-a/napoli/2020/11/16-76331694/napoli_scatta_loperazione_emerson_palmieri |title=Napoli, scatta l'operazione Emerson Palmieri |work=corrieredellosport.it |language=it |date=16 November 2020 |access-date=22 June 2021 }}{{cite web |url=https://www.chelseafc.com/en/teams/first-team/emerson?pageTab=biography |title=Emerson Palmieri |publisher=ChelseaFC |access-date=22 June 2021 }}{{cite web |url=https://www.asroma.com/it/notizie/2015/08/la-guida-completa-a-emerson-palmieri |title=La guida completa a Emerson Palmieri |publisher=www.asroma.com |access-date=22 June 2021 |language=it |last=Grieve |first=Porter |date=3 November 2015}}
