🚨 XABI ALONSO REVEALS PLAN FOR ROGERS AND PALMER TOGETHER AT CHELSEA
28 July 2026, 00:30
📝 THE FULL PICTURE:
Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso says he’s got a “plan” to pair club-record £117m signing Morgan Rogers with Cole Palmer. Rogers, who became the most expensive British player ever when he left Aston Villa, is currently on holiday after the World Cup. Alonso believes the 24-year-old will make an “instant impact” and won’t need much time to adapt. The two England internationals are reportedly best friends in football and really want to play together. Alonso also hinted at more moves-Chelsea are close to signing Maxence Lacroix for £52m, and the squad could hit nearly 40 players before the window slams shut.
💭 MY TAKE:
Alright, so Alonso’s got a plan and the “best friends” dynamic is cute and all, but 40 players? That’s not a squad, that’s a small army. Dropping £117m on a guy who hasn’t even trained yet is wild, but if he and Palmer click immediately? Watch out. The real challenge is balancing that locker room-too many egos, too few minutes. Let’s see if the plan actually holds together.
