Transfer Deal: Chelsea left-back reportedly anticipating move to Spain on a loan deal

Chelsea left-back Marcos Alonso has been linked with a move to Spanish outfit, Atletico Madrid as he hopes to revive his career under the guidance of Diego Simeone.

The arrival of Ben Chilwell from Leicester City in the summer transfer window has seen Alonso lose his place in the Chelsea team as Emerson has been Frank Lampard’s second choice left-back ever since the season began.

Alonso has also been tipped with a reunion with Antonio Conte at Inter Milan with the Spanish international forming a good relationship during the Italian era at Chelsea.
