New Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso is unveiled at Stamford Bridge and says he wants to keep Enzo Fernandez at the club.

New Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso was unveiled at Stamford Bridge on Monday and said he wants to keep Enzo Fernandez at the club. The 25-year-old Argentina midfielder, who is preparing to face England in the World Cup semi-finals, is open to leaving and was recently linked with Real Madrid. However, the Spanish club denied pursuing a move for Fernandez last week, leaving him with no known alternative destination and a sizeable £120m asking price. Alonso replied "yes" when asked whether he wanted to keep Fernandez, adding: "We have spoken. But, as you can understand, what we said will remain private." It was part of his first wide-ranging news conference since taking charge of Chelsea following his departure from Real Madrid in January. He also said striker Nicolas Jackson will return to the squad for at least the club's pre-season tour of Australia and Asia after Bayern Munich decided against making his loan move permanent. "Nico Jackson is joining the tour in Asia and we are looking forward to him working with us," said Alonso. In addition, winger Alejandro Garnacho has not returned to training under Alonso, who began his role last Thursday. Alonso said there is an agreement for Garnacho to stay away from the first-team squad while he seeks a move, with Italian club Roma among those interested.
