According to the source, Chelsea officials like Alonso's work at the helm of Bayer Leverkusen. The Spaniard has managed to completely rebuild the Leverkusen club's system, and the Pharmacists are currently leading the German league, two points ahead of Bayern Munich. Such progress is quite deceptive for Chelsea bosses, who have been trying to lay a new foundation in building the club over the past two years. Therefore, Xabi Alonso is one of the contenders to replace Mauricio Pochettino.

It is worth reminding that after 23 rounds, Chelsea is in 11th place with 31 points.
