Thiago Alcantara wants Chelsea

Barcelona midfielder Thiago is unhappy at the Nou Camp and wants a move to Stamford Bridge.

The 20-year old is dubbed “little Xavi” by team-mates and is looking for a move away from the Catalans in order to secure first team football.

Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea have all been linked with the £10million rated midfielder. A source in the Daily Star said:

“Thiago is frustrated because his path to the first-team is blocked by Xavi and Andres Iniesta.

“His minutes on the pitch are limited while they continue to pull the strings in midfield, and Chelsea is his favoured destination if he decides to leave.

“He is also worried about the possible arrival of Cesc Fabregas, because that would put him further down the pecking order.

“It is another factor that has caused him to think about his future. Thiago believes that the style of football Villas-Boas will bring to Chelsea would suit him perfectly.

“And he will be an attractive prospect for Villas-Boas, who will take note of Thiago’s desire to play for him.”
