Latest News About Chelsea lands first signing under Xabi Alonso

Chelsea completed its first move under new manager Xabi Alonso on July 1. The club splashed out in the region of £45 million for the midfielder. Alonso took over at Chelsea a few weeks earlier. His first task was to fill two clear gaps: the wing and the number 10 roles. The Spanish tactician arrived this summer as external scrutiny grew. Now the focus turns to two big names at Stamford Bridge. Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernández could soon depart, leaving Alonso with a limited timeframe to mold his squad before the next big transfer push.
