Fulham now want Chelsea defender who hasn’t played under Mauricio Pochettino

Trevoh Chalobah’s return from a long-term injury has sparked interest from Fulham

Fulham have expressed interest in Trevoh Chalobah, per Mirror (h/t Sky Sports). The 24-year-old is an unwanted presence for Mauricio Pochettino this term and has failed to register a single minute for The Blues.

He was instrumental in Chelsea’s 2022/23 campaign, however, things took a bad turn after the English defender picked up a thigh injury. He’s been out of action since August 2023, with an imminent return on the cards.

Chalobah’s return has sparked interest from numerous clubs and Fulham appears to be leading the pack. The 24-year-old has two-and-a-half years of contract left with Chelsea. Pochettino will be focusing on his outgoings this summer after a series of incoming.

Chelsea have a busy few weeks ahead of them as they host Middlesbrough in the Carabao Cup before facing Aston Villa, Liverpool and Wolves. All these within a span of 11 days.

Mauricio Pochettino’s impending outgoings

Per The Atheltic, Armando Broja is outbound apart from Trevoh Chalobah. The 22-year-old is under the radar for Wolves, Fulham and West Ham. Broja has scored one goal from 13 games after returning from an ACL injury earlier this season.

Cole Palmer’s fine form has reduced the Albanian’s chances of finding a spot in the starting XI. Furthermore, Christopher Nkunku is expected to return soon, which means Broja should start looking at his options.

Levi Colwill is another player linked away from Stamford Bridge, per talkSPORT. The 20-year-old is favoured by Jurgen Klopp. He is a regular starter for his boss, although, out of his favoured position. A natural centre-back is being used as a left-back by Pochettino.
