Granit Xhaka transfer news: Chelsea interested in signing Sunderland midfielder to reunite him with Xabi Alonso
Chelsea are interested in signing Sunderland midfielder Granit Xhaka.
There has been no club-to-club contact and Sunderland would not welcome any offers, with the midfielder not for sale.
Xhaka is one of the midfield options Chelsea are looking at as they want to buy experienced players with proven Premier League experience.
Xhaka turns 34 in September so Chelsea would not pay over the odds.
Sunderland signed him for £13m last summer and he played a key part in keeping the club in the Premier League.
Xhaka was also keen for a move back to London at that time, with West Ham an option, but decided against pursuing a move.
New Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso starts work next week and he had great success with Xhaka at Bayer Leverkusen, winning the Bundesliga.
