Marcos Alonso signed with Chelsea in the year 2016 at a fee of around £24 million. Since then he has made the left-back or wing-back position his own. He has now become a vital member of the Chelsea Football Club.

Alonso is also regarded as one of the best attacking defenders in the Premier League today. He is often considered as the forward who happens to be a defender. He has the ability of scoring goals from anywhere, which makes him a special defender.

Alonso has a height of 6ft 2in, which makes him adept in the air. He has also got a very intelligent reading of the game and is always willing to learn more. His physicality helps him in his defensive role.

Marcos Alonso is also a very good free-kick taker. He has become one of the key men as far as the set-pieces are concerned for Chelsea. He has two assists and a goal to his name already in this season.
