Chelsea have reportedly made a bid to sign Fiorentina left-back Marcos Alonso.
Sky Sports' Kaveh Solhekol relayed the news from Sky in Italy:

Per Gianluca Di Marzio's David Amoyal, Chelsea have switched their attentions to the Spaniard having failed to prise Alessio Romagnoli from AC Milan.
The Blues are in need of a new central defender with John Terry now 35, but as Amoyal noted, Alonso's arrival could allow Antonio Conte to reshuffle the back line.
