Former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has been speaking out on the Chelsea links with Xabi Alonso this week.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Things are really heating up now with rumours suggesting that Alonso could actually end up at Chelsea this summer. Nothing is done yet though, and there seems a little way to go for it to get completed, but there is a chance that we see Alonso in the hot seat at Stamford Bridge this summer going into the new season and hopefully beyond.<\/p>\n

It would be a massive appointment for Chelsea if they could get this done, something that Carragher is forced to admit. The Sky Sports pundit was a team mate of Alonso\u2019s at Liverpool, so they will know each other well, which makes these comments even more interesting.<\/p>\n

In quotes picked up by The Chelsea Chronicle, Carragher said last night:<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that would be a big coup for Chelsea. I am sure he would love to manage Liverpool one day, but Chelsea is one of the biggest clubs in European Football at the moment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
