🚨 Chelsea are interested in signing Sunderland midfielder Granit Xhaka. Player keen on playing under Xabi Alonso again following their spell at Leverkusen together.

PLAY ONSunderland expect Granit Xhaka to stay following fresh talks with the player, and have again communicated to Chelsea he is not for sale. Consistent stance from the club since rejecting a £8m offer. Chelsea remain interested and active knowing Xhaka is attracted by the prospect of reuniting with Xabi Alonso. Sunderland sources also acknowledge Xhaka was initially open to exploring a move to Stamford Bridge, but the club believe he is now committed and will lead them in Europe next season after further talks with the player.🇨🇭
