Trevoh Chalobah does not want to leave Chelsea in the summer transfer window amid his links with Crystal Palace.
According to a report by Graeme Bailey on HITC, Trevoh Chalobah is the subject of interest from Crystal Palace. The 24-year-old utility man faces an uncertain future at Chelsea, with the West London club ready to use him as a makeweight to bring Michael Olise to Stamford Bridge. However, he does not want to leave the West London club in the summer transfer window.
Trevoh Chalobah and his topsy-turvy Chelsea ride
Trevoh Chalobah has been a dependable performer for Chelsea since breaking into the first-team squad at Stamford Bridge. The Englishman had to bide his time before establishing a foothold in the senior setup. However, he became a trusted lieutenant for Thomas Tuchel.
But Chalobah’s stock has fallen since Chelsea sacked Tuchel in September 2022, with his game time dropping since then. The 24-year-old was impressive after returning from a long injury-induced layoff. The versatile defender managed 1,227 minutes of action in 17 appearances across all competitions, chipping in with one goal.
However, Chalobah’s long-term future at Chelsea is uncertain, with the West London club ready to cash in on him amid concerns over flouting the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules. Meanwhile, recent reports have claimed that Chelsea might use the 24-year-old utility man as a makeweight in the deal to sign Michael Olise, with Crystal Palace also interested in him.
What next for Chalobah?
Crystal Palace’s interest in Trevoh Chalobah is understandable. The Eagles are scouring the market for a reliable centre-back heading into the summer transfer window amid uncertainties surrounding the long-term future of Marc Guehi. Chalobah’s versatility also means he can be an option for the right wing-back berth.
Meanwhile, Michael Olise is a target for Chelsea, with the Blues intensifying their efforts to sign the 22-year-old playmaker. The report by HITC has claimed that they are ready to include Chalobah as a makeweight in the deal to secure Olise’s services. However, the Englishman does not want to leave the West London club anytime soon.
It will be interesting to see if Chelsea can offload Chalobah in the summer transfer window. The 24-year-old utility man is ready to fight for his future amid his links with Crystal Palace.
