OFFICIAL: Chelsea confirm the appointment of Xabi Alonso as manager on a four-year deal 🔵

[ChelsTransfer @ChelsTransfer]

🗣️ @SkyKaveh: “Chelsea believe their latest appointment reflects that lessons have been learned from past mistakes, with Alonso challenged to build a culture as well as a team.

Club chiefs view him as one of the most respected young coaches in European football and believe he has the discipline and calm leadership style, as well as the ability to play in different formations.

Alonso will work with the club's existing sporting directors and ownership group on summer business.”

For Wildcarders, Semenyo vs Cherki will be a real point of consideration and off-late, Cherki has emerged as the stronger pick even posting better underlying data.

‼️🎙Thomas Tuchel on sitting close to Behdad Eghbali:

🗣"You know I love Chelsea. I decided to come early and meet with Behdad and then give him a word of advice on what to do in the summer to make Chelsea great again.

I told him to prioritize areas where Chelsea is struggling like wingers, CBs, and an experienced midfielder who will guide the ones already here.

It’s important to have experience in your squad to bring balance. Leadership sometimes comes with experience, and it mostly comes from those who’ve won trophies in the dressing room.

Eghbali is a good guy. He listened. I wish Chelsea all the best and hope they will be stronger next season than this one.

The coaching department is also very important. He insisted on hiring an experienced coach because Chelsea is a big club and deserves to be coached by someone competent enough to demand respect and control the dressing room with real authority.

I will be supporting Chelsea in the final against Manchester City. They deserve to win a trophy after such a difficult season."

Reports from The Emirates that the Arsenal dressing room was incredibly tense at FT.

Rice had to be separated from Dowman. Players taking sides, nearly coming to blows. Stewards outside the dressing room heard items being thrown and a lot of shouting.

Wheels falling off..?

[FPL Frasier @FPLfrasier]

Is this above €56m they paid in the summer?
