“I’m just not sure” – Matt Law makes interesting Marc Cucurella claim following Xabi Alonso’s appointment Marc Cucurella doesn’t seem to be the profile of wing back Xabi Alonso likes according to journalist Matt Law. DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL CHELSEA NEWS APP FOR ALL THE LATEST UPDATES – STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE! ON THE APP STORE Chelsea announced the appointment of Alonso on Sunday, and the 44-year-old has signed a four year deal at Stamford Bridge.

It’s believed Alonso will have a say in transfers, and the Blues face a critical summer window, which they can’t afford to get wrong. Matt Law on Marc Cucurella future It’s not just incomings, Chelsea also need to move a number of players on, whilst some existing key players need to decide on their futures. Cucurella has two years left on his current deal, and it remains unclear if the 27-year-old will sign or be offered a new contract.

Reports have linked Cucurella with a move to Atletico Madrid, and the Spain international has made it clear he’d like to return to Spain one day. You would assume Alonso would want Cucurella to stay, but Law isn’t sure he’s the profile of wing back the new Chelsea boss likes. “I’m not sure he’s quite the profile of wing back, Alonso seems to like people who are very comfortable in possession rather than necessarily all action and all over the place,” he told The London Is Blue Podcast.

“I’m just not sure Cucurella’s style of play and also potentially style of personality will suit what we know about and hear about Alonso. ” Cucurella is one of the only senior players at Chelsea, whilst he’s well respected in the squad, and losing him would be a major blow. The Spaniard has scored once and registered four assists in 49 appearances in all competitions this season.
