Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah was heavily linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge during the January transfer window.
Trevoh Chalobah was linked with an exit in the summer as well. However, the 24-year-old has ended up staying, and a report from Caught Offside has claimed that the Chelsea utility man is now ready to fight for his future at the London club.
Trevoh Chalobah Was Linked with a Winter Exit
Chalobah has been linked with multiple clubs across different leagues, and he could have been a quality acquisition for most clubs. He is versatile enough to operate as a central defender as well as a right-back. German champions Bayern Munich were keen on signing him last month.
He has not been a key player for Mauricio Pochettino, and it will be interesting to see if the versatile defender can convince the Chelsea manager to give him more opportunities. Chelsea could certainly use more depth at the back, especially with their persistent injury problems. Chalobah could be a key backup player for them during the second half of the season.
The 24-year-old is likely to be linked with a move away from Chelsea at the end of the season as well. If he manages to impress during the second half of the campaign with ample game time, he will be able to secure a respectable move away from Chelsea.
What Next?
The 24-year-old utility man cannot afford to sit on the bench at Chelsea every week, and he needs to work hard in training and convince the manager to give him more opportunities. Meanwhile, Chelsea have had a mediocre season by their standards, and they are currently pushing for European qualification. It will be interesting to see if the Blues can finish the season strongly.
As far as Trevoh Chalobah is concerned, Pochettino should look to give him game time in the coming weeks so that he can showcase his qualities and preserve his value ahead of the summer transfer window. Not playing him until the end of the season would only reduce his value in the transfer market, and Chelsea will have to accept a substandard transfer fee.
