Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah could very well be West Ham United bound in the summer transfer window.
Trevoh Chalobah has been a transfer target for West Ham for some time now, most recently back in January when the Chelsea ace was linked with a move to the London Stadium.
He remained at Stamford Bridge in the end, and David Moyes failed to strengthen his defensive ranks as a result.
The Hammers are now in the dawn of an exciting new era, with Julen Lopetegui set to replace Moyes.
The Spaniard is apparently eyeing up six new signings for West Ham, and one of his main priorities should be to sign a top class central defender.
Kurt Zouma is well past his best physically, whilst Nayef Aguerd is painfully ill-suited to the Premier League and Konstantinos Mavropanos is still yet to prove himself.
And upgrade on all three of those defenders is needed urgently this summer, and now the door is wide open for Lopetegui to bring in a truly top-class centre-back…
Chelsea make final decision on Trevoh Chalobah
So, the Blues ace is seemingly there for the taking for West Ham this summer.
That’s because The Telegraph have made a new claim about the versatile English defender.
It is claimed that Chelsea are prepared to sell him for just £25 million when the summer transfer window opens.
Signing the 24-year-old for that kind of money should be an absolute no-brainer for the Hammers this summer.
Described as an ‘incredible’ defender by Football.London, Chalobah is exactly the kind of signing Moyes should be looking to make.
He’s quick along the ground, strong in the air and vitally for Lopetegui, he has experience of playing Premier League football! In 13 Premier League appearances for Chelsea this season, the centre-back averaged 1.2 tackles and 3.8 clearances per game (Who Scored).
Chalobah can play in the defensive midfield role, as well as his main position at centre-back, so the £25 million fee being quoted for him would represent a fantastic deal for the Hammers.
He needs to join a club this summer where he’s going to be playing pretty much every single week.
And I think Trevoh Chalobah moving to West Ham from Chelsea for £25 million would perfectly suit all parties involved.
