Chelsea fullback Alonso to be farmed out on-loan

Chelsea fullback Marcos Alonso is set to be farmed out on-loan in January.

Sportmediaset says Alonso has fallen out of favour at Stamford Bridge with the signing of Ben Chilwell, and may find himself shipped out on loan this winter.

Inter Milan boss Antonio Conte is keen to bring Alonso to San Siro in January, in order to supplement his wide options.

Alonso may be angling for a route out of Chelsea after a spat with Frank Lampard at half-time during the 3-3 draw with West Bromwich Albion saw him substituted as the team trailed 3-0.

Alonso has not featured since, and with Chilwell's return to fitness, does not appear likely to regain his place in the first-team fold.

Chelsea defender Emerson Palmieri was also reportedly a target for Conte, but Alonso may be his first choice, given how regularly he featured under the Italian in 2016.
