Marcos Alonso is open to signing a new deal at Chelsea after his revival under Thomas Tuchel.

The Spanish left-back’s camp had been working on a move away from the Blues after he was frozen out by ex-Stamford Bridge boss Frank Lampard.

But now Alonso, 30, who started his career at Real Madrid, is hoping for a one-year extension to his stay at Chelsea.

He had been looking at a final switch to a Premier League rival, or a return to Serie A where he played for Fiorentina.

But the defender’s situation at Stamford Bridge has improved dramatically since Tuchel’s arrival in January.
