The Spaniard's shortlist included the Gunners star, as well as Lucas Bergvall, Morgan Gibbs‑White, Lamine Camara and Manu Kone as they scrambled for a late midfield addition.
Camara came closest to joining in the end before AS Monaco pulled the plug at the eleventh hour, leaving Alonso and Chelsea without a viable replacement for Fernandez.
