Trevoh Chalobah is heading to Crystal Palace on a dry loan from Chelsea, with the Eagles set to pay a fee for the defender.
According to David Ornstein of The Athletic, Trevoh Chalobah is on the verge of joining Crystal Palace on a dry loan from Chelsea. The Eagles had kept close tabs on the 25-year-old Chelsea utility man on deadline day, and now they are close to getting the defender in their squad.
Crystal Palace to sign Trevoh Chalobah
Crystal Palace were expected to be active on deadline day following intense speculation surrounding the future of Marc Guehi. While their star defender is set for a stay at Selhurst Park, Oliver Glasner has still decided to bring defensive reinforcements as Palace have completed the signing of Maaxence Macroix from Wolfsburg.
Earlier today, they had explored a move for Trevoh Chalobah, with the 25-year-old Chelsea utility man currently out of favour under new boss Enzo Maresca. He has been training away from the first team’s setup for a considerable period.
There were many links, and Palace were one of those linked earlier, and now they have secured the defender on a season-long loan deal from Chelsea. The Eagles will pay a loan fee to the Blues, and the contract does not consist of any buy option or obligation.
With the defender, Palace will have a more robust backline for the current season, as they could even think about future negotiations with Chelsea if all goes to plan. For now, they have offered the defender an escape from his Chelsea hell, as medical tests are ongoing at the time of writing.
Chalobah is a sensational signing for Palace
Palace have deployed a back three under Glasner, and Chalobah would fit their model perfectly. The loss of Joachim Andersen was seen as shrewed business by many, and they have followed that up with the arrival of Lacroix.
However, the addition of Chalobah does give Palace further depth in quality, as the 25-year-old joins Guehi, Chris Richards, Joel Ward and Lacroix in adding depth to the backline. Overall, it’s a stunning deal for the Eagles as they head into an essential phase of the season under Glasner.
