As confirmed by the club’s official Twitter account, the Brazilian joins on a four-and-a-half year contract.

The Blues have been in the market for another left-sided defender to provide competition for Marcos Alonso.

Palmieri has been linked with a move to the Premier League for some time, with Liverpool expressing an interest in the 23-year-old previously.

The defender has struggled to break into the Roma side this season, making just two appearances in all competitions.

Antonio Conte has been limited in his options on the left side, using Kenedy as a makeshift wing-back in cup competitions.

However, the latter has not featured in the Premier League with Conte having identified better options. Kenedy will spend the rest of the season on loan at Newcastle.
