Diario Gol are stating that the
former Man United defender has asked the Blaugrana to make a move for the Blues star, and that the player was
impressed with Alonso following Barca's 4 - 1 aggregate win
against the west London
side in the Champions League last month.
Former Tottenham and Aston Villa manager Sherwood wasn't overly
impressed with the West London
side's performance, however, believing that they should have won much more easily
against the Tigers.
