“So, I can’t tell you the context of the story, I can just give you a little bit that I’ve heard, that Xabi Alonso has now got a job. I don’t know, but if Liverpool are staying with Slot it’s going to be Chelsea or Man U isn’t it.

So, if it’s not Liverpool for the Basque this summer, then he is surely ending up in the Premier League regardless.
