Latest transfer news and rumours
Xabi Alonso explains shock Enzo Fernandez U-turn
Xabi Alonso has confirmed that the late decision to omit Enzo Fernandez from Chelseaâs squad to face Luton was made jointly by himself and the club, writes Dom Smith.
Blues boss Alonso had initially said at Wednesdayâs pre-match press conference that he expected Fernandez to be involved in Thursdayâs Carabao Cup second-round clash at Stamford Bridge.
However, the Argentine midfielder - who appeared as a second-half substitute during Monday nightâs Premier League opener against Fulham - was not even named on the bench in the end as Chelsea beat Jack Wilshereâs League One side 2-0 thanks to a debut goal from Danny Welbeck and late own goal forced by Estevao.
Manchester City are believed to be preparing an offer to sign Fernandez before the summer transfer window closes for business, intending to reunite him with former Blues boss Enzo Maresca at the Etihad Stadium.

Rose adamant Scott will not be sold
âIâm not just confident, Iâm sure (Scott will stay). Not just quite sure, I am sure.
âI mean, is there 120 per cent (sure)?
âYou know, it is what it is. We know this business. He played a top season, but I think even Alex knows what he learned from this club, what he got from this club.
âWe show we know what we get from him, so we support him to play another brilliant season. Heâs keen to play another brilliant season.
