Xabi Alonso Prepares Major Clear-Out at Chelsea

New Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso is reportedly ready to offload at least six players from the current squad. The Spanish tactician is determined to reshape the team to fit his tactical vision and playing style, signaling a significant clear-out at Stamford Bridge.

As anticipated, the former Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid coach aims to rebuild the roster according to his philosophy. It comes as no surprise, therefore, that immediately upon his arrival, he has identified several players who do not meet his requirements and are set to depart.

In this regard, the "Daily Mail" has already ventured to name six players who have failed to impress the new manager in his initial assessment. These include goalkeeper Filip Jörgensen, defenders Tosin Adarabioyo, Benoît Badiashile, and Axel Disasi, winger Alejandro Garnacho, and striker Liam Delap.

The sale of these players is expected to alleviate the club's substantial wage bill and simultaneously free up space for new acquisitions. In fact, reports emerged yesterday that Alonso is keen to bring in at least one top-tier central defender and a striker. This developing story will undoubtedly be one to watch.
