SNAPPED! Alonso 'likes' post criticising Chelsea Chilwell bid

Chelsea fullback Marcos Alonso has made his feelings known over their pursuit of Leicester City defender Ben Chilwell.

The Sun says Alonso has "liked" a tweet criticising Chelsea's transfer interest in left-back target Chilwell.

The Blues are said to have made Leicester's Chilwell a summer priority, following the success of Timo Werner agreeing a move to Stamford Bridge.

But a Chelsea fan pointed out online that Alonso, despite less appearances, has better stats than Chilwell this season.

The tweet read: "This guy can go on about Chilwell for 140 seconds and forgets to mention: - less goal contributions than Marcos Alonso, whos (sic) started FOURTEEN matches less than Chilwell. Less chances created/90 than MA. Less clean sheets/90 than MA. Less tackles won/90 than MA."

Screenshots on Twitter revealed Alonso liked the tweet supporting his stats, though the Spaniard has since unliked the post.
