Premier League club Fulham are now being tipped to make a firm move to try sign one Chelsea player this summer.
There’s been so many individuals over the years to play for both West London clubs. Some recent examples include Armando Broja, Willian, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Andre Schurrle.
Could there soon be another player making the short trip from Stamford Bridge to Craven Cottage?
Of course, Chelsea fans would love to know if Mauricio Pochettino will still be in the manager’s dugout next season at the Bridge before thinking about potential transfers. The Evening Standard has claimed that the Blues head coach is due for discussions with the club’s hierarchy in the coming days as part of an end-of-season review to decide his future.
Fulham set sights on Chelsea defender
Journalist Sacha Tavolieri has now claimed via X that Fulham could push hard this summer to sign Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah.
It is explained that Marco Silva’s side could focus on the 24-year-old Blues centre-back to replace Tosin Adarabioyo, who’s out of contract at Craven Cottage at the end of June.
This comes so soon after The Telegraph’s report that Chelsea have put a £25m asking price on Chalobah for this summer.
With the way Chalobah’s finished the season for the Blues, it would be an absolute bargain for any club to pick him up for just £25m.
The Chelsea Chronicle’s preference would definitely be to keep the versatile defender, who covers well at right-back on top of being a rock solid centre-half. However, his sale would generate pure profit for the club because of his roots to the academy.
Don’t sell Trevoh Chalobah
Despite the speculation about his possible sale, Chelsea need to see common sense and keep Chalobah in next season’s squad.
The Evening Standard said that Chalobah is one of four players Chelsea want to sell by the end of June. It would be a big mistake, though!
Jason Cundy perfectly described Chalobah as a player that goes “under the radar” via Chelsea’s official app (5:32pm, 19 May).
