The 27-year-old defender, who can play at left-back or wing-back, will get
his first taste of French football following three-and-a-half years at
Stamford Bridge.
During that time, the Italian international has made 71 appearances and
secured a clean sweep of European honours, scoring a memorable late goal
in our Champions League last-16 victory over Atletico Madrid last term.

Emerson helped the Blues lift the Champions League tropy in May
Prior to that, he claimed an assist for Olivier Giroud in the 2018/19
Europa League final, initiating his thirst for silverware success in
European competition following his transfer from Roma in January 2018.
On the international stage, Emerson made four appearances at Euro 2020,
including in the final against England as the Azzurri triumphed on
penalties, the latest of his 19 Italy caps.
After coming off the bench for the final few minutes of last weekend's 3-0
Premier League victory against Crystal Palace, he will now spend the
season with Lyon, who have one point from their opening two league matches
this term and will play in the Europa League.
