Former Chelsea star, Joe Cole, has urged new manager Xabi Alonso to block two players from leaving Stamford Bridge.

Speaking to The Daily Mail, Cole urged Alonso to keep both Enzo Fernandez and Marc Cucurella at the club.

Cucurella and Fernandez have been linked with a move to Real Madrid.

Cucurella has already reached an agreement to join the Los Blancos this summer, while Fernandez could also leave the Blues.

“If I’m Xabi Alonso, I want to keep both of them [Cucurella and Fernandez],” Cole said.

“I’d rather sell four or five other players to get that money in. Because so much money has been wasted at Chelsea, no player is untouchable, every player has a price, because it’s run as a business.”
