Trevoh Chalobah expected to leave Chelsea in January

Trevoh Chalobah was keen on leaving Chelsea for Bayern Munich in the final weeks of the summer transfer window. The Bavarians were interested in him as a potential replacement for Benjamin Pavard, but in the end, the move did not materialize. He then rejected a chance to join Nottingham Forest instead on Deadline Day, even though the two Premier League clubs had reached an agreement on the transfer fee at £25 million, and chose to stay put and fight for his place in Mauricio Pochettino’s team at Stamford Bridge.

However, the the 24-year-old defender is still expected to leave Chelsea in the upcoming January window, according to Fabrizio Romano.

A versatile defender, who can also play at the base of midfield, Chalobah is a product of the academy at Chelsea, and he had loan spells at Ipswich, Huddersfield and Lorient, on his way into the first-team ranks. Since earning his promotion to the senior squad, he has so far made a total of 63 appearances for the Blues in all competitions, scoring four goals and recording a single assist.
