The former Lyon star is a good replacement for the Spaniard and is a "complete midfielder" according to his new boss
Bayern Munich coach Carlo Ancelotti believes off-season signing Corentin Tolisso is capable of replacing retired great Xabi Alonso.
Tolisso, 22, joined Bayern from Lyon for an initial €41.5million in June, signing a five-year deal with the Bundesliga champions.
Ancelotti has high hopes for the one-time France international, saying he could replace Alonso, the Spain great who retired after the 2016-17 season.
"Tolisso is a really good midfielder in our opinion. He was one of the best midfielders in the market," the Italian said on Saturday.
