Xabi Alonso wants to lure Martin Subimendi from Arsenal to Chelsea

Chelsea head coach Xabi Alonso has set his sights on signing Arsenal midfielder Martin Subimendi during the current summer transfer window. This comes from Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo.

According to the source, the Gunners are unlikely to stand in the way of the 27-year-old Spanish defensive midfielder's departure if they receive an offer around £77 million.

Xabi Alonso is personally keen on bringing his compatriot to Stamford Bridge and views him as the ideal player to strengthen his side's midfield ahead of the new season.
