Xabi Alonso still open to Premier League move after Liverpool snub

Xabi Alonso hasn’t ruled out a move to the Premier League despite snubbing a return to Liverpool last month.

”You never know, at the moment I have enough on my plate to think about,” he said. “But I'm still young as a coach and for sure it's a nice one (thought).

“I speak regularly with some colleagues who coach in the Premier League and they know that each game is really tough to prepare and to play.

"It's a very exciting competition (Europa League) with so many great players, coaches, great clubs, stadiums - and West Ham is one of them.

"We are facing them tomorrow with great respect but with great excitement that we have a great chance to go through and keep going in a great season as well.”

The Spaniard had been one of the favourites to replace Jurgen Klopp as Reds manager, ahead of the German stepping down at the end of the season, but ultimately decided to stay put at Bayer Leverkusen.
