Talented defender Trevoh Chalobah granted permission to seek new opportunities
Trevoh Chalobah has been informed by Chelsea Football Club that he is free to go in search of a new club during the next January transfer window. Despite Chalobah’s exceptional performance and mobility on the field, the recent influx of talent from new signings has had an impact on the player’s position within the rest of the team.
Chalobah displayed his prowess across two seasons after making a name for himself in the senior ranks under Thomas Tuchel’s management, amassing an impressive total of 63 appearances in multiple competitions and contributing four goals and one assist from roles as a centre-back or right wing-back.
However, recent signings, such as the addition of Axel Disasi and an unfortunate injury Chalobah suffered during the club’s pre-season training, may have resulted in a drop in his role within the team management.
Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital, the club’s co-owners, have indicated their willingness to listen offers for Chalobah in a bid to strengthen the club’s position on Financial Fair Play (FFP). Although Bayern Munich was a serious contender for his signing, they were failed to complete the deal before the transfer deadline. Chalobah is also said to have rejected down an offer from Nottingham Forest.
Chelsea’s head coach, Mauricio Pochettino, has made it clear that Chalobah still plays a key role in the squad and is eligible for selection. However, the club’s statement is that Chalobah can look for opportunities elsewhere in the football world, suggesting a possible move in the upcoming January transfer window.
Chalobah, a graduate of Chelsea’s renowned academy and a member of the club since 2007, has proven his dedication and talent over the years. While a final decision on his future is awaited, talks with Bayern Munich and other interested teams are set to take place, bringing up new opportunities for the brilliant Englishman.
