One journalist has made a huge claim that former Real Madrid manager Xabi Alonso ‘seems to be heading to Chelsea’.

It was said on a YouTube show this week, but AC Milan journalist and commentator Carlo Pellegatti said:
“Xabi Alonso seems to be heading to Chelsea.”
Now, whether this is just opinion, speculation, or based on any info he has heard, we don’t know. But I wouldn’t get your hopes up too much just yet if I was you.
Chelsea are in a pickle with their strikers – they have a few on the books, but only one looks any good. Ben Jacobs put out his latest information on the striker situation this week.
Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol has become the latest journalist to predict that things could get better very quickly at Chelsea. Pretty clear he speaks to Chelsea and pumps out their PR on the regular!
