Atletico Madrid have made Chelsea fullback Marcos Alonso as one of their top transfer targets.

Atleti have lost left-back Luis Hernandez and Filipe Luis is also expected to leave.

And according to AS, 28-year-old Alonso is manager Diego Simeone's top target to fill the void.

Alonso saw his Chelsea spot threatened towards the end of the season by Emerson and is expected to be on the bench for the Europa League final.

The Spaniard is from Madrid and came through the youth ranks at Real.
