“The position” – Ben Jacobs delivers good news on Xabi Alonso Chelsea situation Journalist Ben Jacobs has put out some pretty positive news around a possible Xabi Alonso to Chelsea move. Although the news is not directly talking about Chelsea, at this point at least, what Jacobs is reporting is only going to help Chelsea’s attempts to land Alonso as their new head coach this summer after sacking Liam Rosenior a few weeks back now. EXCLUSIVE!
Xabi Alonso not making any major demands but emphasising importance of defence, talks progressing well – Chelsea throwing everything at it!

Alonso is heavily linked with Chelsea right now, with all the major outlets in agreement that he is their main target that they want to bring in, and the club have been speaking with him about the role recently.
We are waiting on more updates on that situation directly soon, but one concern is that Alonso is a former Liverpool player, and many believe he would love to manage there – this could throw a spanner in the works for Chelsea IF Liverpool sacked Arne Slot. But it doesn’t look like they will… Slot being backed Arne Slot reacts with a thumbs up. (Photo by Shaun Botterill/Getty Images) GMS senior football correspondent Ben Jacobs said: “I don’t even think this narrative of Liverpool reassessing in the summer necessarily has that much credence regarding Arne Slot’s future.
“The position, speaking to Liverpool sources, is clear and has been for quite some time, that Liverpool and FSG back Arne Slot and they’ve got a big summer ahead, and this idea that they’re going to have a review at the end of the season and may U-turn on that position is downplayed by sources. “What now can change between today and the end of the season? Liverpool are highly likely to get Champions League football, that’s the best they can do, and it’s been clear for quite some time, so any review doesn’t need to wait until the summer.
