🚨 👀 Chelsea players are to some degree playing for their futures in the next two matches. Alonso will be keeping an eye on performances against Spurs and Sunderland and making notes. The message is simple: impress, and the likelihood of an integral role under him increases. (@MrDomSmith@standardsport)

🚨 BREAKING: Xabi Alonso has accepted to become Chelsea next manager, HERE WE GO! 🔵🔜

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Agreement complete for Xabi Alonso to become Chelsea manager. 44yo Spaniard visited London early last week & accepted opportunity; 4yr contract now finalised - announcement imminent. Primary target throughout + wanted #CFC move @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/4022hQsMXA

🚨 🇪🇸 Xabi Alonso is Chelsea’s first choice option and is seen as the ideal candidate by Chelsea.
Benfica will target Marco Silva, who has also been on Chelsea’s radar, if Mourinho joins Real Madrid. (@guardian_sport)
🚨 BREAKING: According to some sources, Xabi Alonso is an early preferred choice for the next Chelsea manager. Whether they can convince him to come to Stamford Bridge is another matter. (@kierangill_DM)
🚨 Xavi is under consideration to become next Chelsea FC manager.
The feeling is that the club have made significant progress in instilling a football identity that is now visible in the academy right down through the age groups, and that one of the values of Enzo Maresca was that his teams typified this approach.
Chelsea consequently want to persevere with a coach of similar principles, which is how Xavi has come into a conversation that also includes Xabi Alonso, Porto's Franceso Farioli and Cesc Fabregas.
Fabregas, however, is not expected to leave Como this summer.
