'I Have A Plan': Chelsea Boss Alonso Outlines Vision For Rogers-Palmer Partnership
FIFA World Cup: Chelsea head coach Xabi Alonso has backed club-record signing Morgan Rogers to make an immediate impact at Stamford Bridge, revealing he already has a blueprint to integrate the England international alongside Cole Palmer as the Blues begin a new era under his leadership ahead of the 2026-27 season.
Speaking during Chelsea's pre-season tour of Australia before his first match in charge, Alonso described Rogers as the ideal addition to strengthen the squad, insisting the 24-year-old possesses both the quality and versatility to elevate the team's attacking play despite joining the club after the FIFA World Cup.
Chelsea completed the signing of Rogers from Aston Villa last week for a British record fee of £117 million, with the midfielder putting pen to paper on a six-year contract that includes an option for a further year. Although Rogers is currently on holiday following England's third-place finish at the World Cup and has yet to report for pre-season training, Alonso believes the midfielder will settle quickly.
