da 888casino: Indeed, the Spaniard has made telling contributions both offensively and defensively in the Blues’ season-defining 3-4-3 system, as the lanky and imposing left wing-back overlapping Eden Hazard, and according to Spanish publication Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are now eyeing him ahead of the summer transfer window.
Despite the 26-year-old’s importance this season, there are reasons to sell. He’s produced some massive performances but probably isn’t what you’d describe as a truly top-class player – likewise, Chelsea stand to make a decent profit after signing him for £24million last summer.
With that in mind, we asked Chelsea fans last week whether the club should keep Alonso or cash in and much to the wing-back’s delight, or so we assume, 76% of Blues supporters want to keep him at Stamford Bridge – according to our poll.
If the Spanish giants want to improve their left-sided options this summer, it seems they’ll have to look elsewhere.
