West Ham United and Bayern Munich continue to be linked with a move for Chelsea star Trevoh Chalobah
Even though he is not at the core of plans at Chelsea, Trevoh Chalobah has suitors elsewhere. Apart from the known interest of Bayern Munich under the stewardship of former Blues boss Thomas Tuchel, David Moyes’ West Ham United also plot a move for the central defender who has yet to feature for the Blues this season.
The 24-year-old last featured in a Premier League game in May of 2023, in a 1-1 draw to Newcastle United. Since then, no competitive fixtures. Chalobah suffered from a thigh injury in the summer which kept him out of action for so long. It was only two days before the Carabao Cup game against Middlesborough that Chalobah finally returned to training. Whether that’s individual or team training is yet to be revealed.
However, even if the player is fully fit, question marks over Mauricio Pochettino’s willingness to select him for games is a major doubt. He came close to leaving the club in the summer, and he might actually do it in the remaining days of the January window. As talkSPORT via football.london cover, apart from his former boss Thomas Tuchel, West Ham are also monitoring his situation as they seek more clarity on the long-term future of Nayef Aguerd.
For Chalobah himself, a move to a club like Bayern Munich or West Ham United offers an opportunity to reignite his career and showcase his capabilities consistently. The prospect of working with Tuchel again at Bayern adds an extra layer of familiarity, potentially facilitating a smoother transition for the talented defender.
In essence, the potential move of Trevoh Chalobah appears to be a scenario where all parties can benefit. Chelsea can streamline their squad and finances, paving the way for new acquisitions. Chalobah, in turn, gets a chance for regular playing time and a fresh start at a new club, showcasing his skills on a more consistent basis.
Furthermore, the funds generated from Chalobah’s potential transfer could contribute to Chelsea’s efforts to secure new signings that align with Pochettino’s vision for the team.
As the January transfer window enters its final stages, the coming days will reveal whether Chalobah secures a move away from Stamford Bridge.
