Shearer Calls Chelsea's £8m Bid for Xhaka 'Embarrassing'

1 / 3

Premier League legend Alan Shearer has criticised Chelsea’s opening £8m offer for Sunderland midfielder Granit Xhaka. Xhaka moved to the Black Cats last summer and helped them secure a top-half finish in his first season. New Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso values Xhaka’s leadership but saw Sunderland swiftly reject the lowball bid, insisting the 33-year-old is not for sale. Shearer branded the offer disrespectful, noting Sunderland paid £17m for the Swiss international. Chelsea are expected to return with an improved proposal.
