Chelsea FC is set to transform its midfield with a £180m double deal, as the club prepares for a new era under Xabi Alonso. The former Real Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen boss will take the reins next season, aiming to catapult Chelsea back to the top of the Premier League table. With Enzo Fernandez reportedly set to depart, Chelsea's core could soon undergo a revamp. The club is expected to operate in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with a double midfield pivot and two attacking No. 10s. If Fernandez is sold, in an ideal world, they should recruit two new midfielders. Moises Caicedo, purchased for £115m in 2023, is irreplaceable in the middle of the park and fits Alonso's right-sided, more defensive pivot like a glove. The club also already possess Cole Palmer, who, despite missing out on England's World Cup squad and enduring a difficult season, still should not be ousted from the starting XI. He can operate as the right-sided 10, allowed to roam, find pockets and create chances. In the transfer market, then, two new stars are needed: one to play in the double pivot and another, a more direct, powerful No. 10. Adam Wharton and Morgan Rogers fit the bill. Wharton, who has shone for Crystal Palace, could leave the south London side this summer for a reported £80m and is in demand. But Chelsea should do all they can to snap him up, as he is perfect for Alonso's system. At Bayer Leverkusen, Granit Xhaka starred as this left-footed deep playmaker who opened up passing angles and dictated tempo. Wharton is tailored to the role and would slot seamlessly alongside Caicedo. Rogers would then round off this dream midfield at Stamford Bridge. The Aston Villa star, who is currently away with the Three Lions for World Cup 2026, helped guide his team to Europa League glory this term and is one of the Premier League's finest young talents. The 23-year-old is also reportedly on Arsenal's radar but could give Alonso an explosive, direct inside forward next to international team-mate Palmer. He has an alleged £100m-plus price tag, but if Fernandez is sold, this would likely be no issue.
