Chelsea midfielder, Enzo Fernandez

Chelsea head coach Xabi Alonso has said the club are happy with Enzo Fernandez as speculation over the midfielder’s future continues.

Fernandez has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge, with Manchester City reportedly interested in the 25-year-old Argentina international.

However, Chelsea have told Fernandez’s camp that the midfielder is not for sale this summer after the 14 August deadline for a formal bid passed without an offer.

As reported by BBC Sport on Thursday, speaking ahead of Chelsea’s Premier League opener against Fulham, Alonso said Fernandez remains focused on the club.
