Chelsea Transfer News: Chelsea’s left-back plans merit attention under Xabi Alonso. Both give Alonso room to develop his wing-back structure, although Chelsea still appear interested in adding a more established profile.

Sport Witness, citing Senegalese outlet D Sports, reports that Chelsea and Liverpool have contacted El Hadji Malick Diouf’s agent to register interest. Chelsea Transfer News: Should Chelsea pay a premium for Diouf?
