Xabi Alonso used his first official press conference at Stamford Bridge on Monday to confirm he has already held private talks with unsettled Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez, but the new head coach declined to share any details of their conversation as questions over the club's £100million record signing dominated proceedings.
The media appearance was Alonso's first since taking charge on July 1, and came at a time when the London club is under scrutiny over Fernandez's future.
