Xabi Alonso has confirmed that he will return to the city of Liverpool as soon as he can.

The Bayern Munich midfielder spent five years at Anfield between 2004 and 2009, and apart from winning the Champions League, the FA Cup and UEFA Super Cup with the Reds, he also welcomed his son into the world during his days in England.

With his playing career set to wrap up at season's end, Xabi says a visit back to the Merseyside city is definitely on the cards, especially as Jontxu always asks about his place of birth.

“That's 100% sure," he told Liverpool Echo.

“We are really looking forward to going back. I have heard great things about the new Main Stand.

“My son is desperate to go. He's Liverpool born and always asks: 'Dad. when are we going to Liverpool?'

“I say: 'Okay, but at the moment I have busy weekends! We will go, don't worry.'"

True Legend.

Any chance we could sign him on a free and let him ping the ball round for a year?

I remember watching Molby a few years ago at Anfield in a testimonial, he just stood in the centre circle and never gave the ball away, just pinged it around, the Kop were seeing sign him up, was funny.

Alonso is one of the finest midfielders I have ever seen. His skill and composure are just brilliant. But his biggest talent is his "sixth sense" to read the play and shield, turn and pass as if he is five seconds in the future - just brilliant! The man is such an intelligent footballer and so young players should be studying him in videos.
Plus he is humble and an honest footballer.
A genius and he is in my best ever LFC squad of all time.
