EXCL: Xabi Alonso considering keeping surprise player in his squad this season

Alonso has many decisions to make

It’s important to say that there are no final decisions made yet by Xabi Alonso on his final squad going into the new season, and anything can still happen.

A lot of his decisions will be dependent on the transfer market and who is sold, and any other players that the club manage to bring in for him.

So this is not yet a conclusive report, but Alonso is certainly considering keeping one surprise player in his squad this season.
