David Ornstein drops MAJOR Xabi Alonso to Chelsea update

Alonso, 44, has been out of work since his Real Madrid sacking back in January, just eight months into his three-year contract.

According to The Athletic’s David Ornstein, Chelsea are working on bringing Alonso to the Premier League as their replacement for Liam Rosenior

Ornstein adds that Alonso is increasingly open to the opportunity, although nothing is advanced just yet.

Chelsea are also looking at Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola, who is another serious contender for the job.
