Chelsea finalized 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 was appointed at Chelsea a few weeks earlier. His first task was to address two clear gaps: the wing and the attacking midfield roles. The Basque coach arrived this summer as external scrutiny grew. Now attention shifts to two big names at Stamford Bridge. Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernández might leave iminentily, leaving Alonso with a short window to reshape his squad before the next big transfer push.
