**Xabi Alonso has hinted that Chelsea are not finished in the transfer market after admitting the club can still take “a few more” steps this summer.**
Chelsea transfers have already reshaped his squad, but the manager appears to believe further work is required before the window closes.
Alonso was asked about the backing he has received since taking charge at Stamford Bridge.
“We have taken a few steps but I feel that we can still take a few more,” he said.
The comment is significant because Chelsea have already been active throughout the summer. However, Alonso has repeatedly stressed that building the right squad is about balance rather than simply collecting talent.
