🗣️ Xabi Alonso on whether Chelsea will sign a free agent midfielder:

“No. Well, we have looked. But no.

“But I said after the window was closed, I’m fully committed with this squad, I’m happy, and we need to deal with injuries but once we have all the players, many important players back, I think that we will be able to take a step forward.”
