Fabrizio Romano claims that Trevoh Chalobah expects to leave Chelsea for Tottenham in January. This is after Tottenham Hotspur tried to sign him on deadline day this summer window.
Romano has been speaking in his latest YouTube video. And he discussed Chalobah’s future after interest from Tottenham over the summer.
Ange Postecoglou bolstered his backline with the addition of Micky van de Ven over the summer. But would have been hoping to land at least one more centre-back for squad depth.
Indeed, the Aussie boss has been left with many. Alfie Dorrington and Ashley Phillips as back-up options. This is to Cristian Romero and Van de Ven.
Eric Dier has been frozen out under Postecoglou this season. This comes a he missed out on every matchday squad so far.
But Spurs did attempt to land a new centre-back on deadline day earlier this month. This is with Trevoh Chalobah a target.
Trevoh Chalobah could be on his way to Tottenham come January
Fabrizio Romano says :
”Tottenham were a possibility in the final hours of deadline day but nothing concrete because Tottenham didn’t sell Eric Dier as they wanted to make room for Chalobah,” the transfer insider said.
“From what I’m hearing, Chelsea accepted a proposal and they wanted Chalobah to go to Forest. But at the same time, there is still no formal communication from the club that Chalobah is not going to play again for Chelsea.
“The point is very clear on the player’s side is that sources confirm Chalobah expects to leave Chelsea in January. So the feeling on the club and player side is that something will happen for Chalobah to leave Chelsea.“That’s the feeling for the English centre-back and I expect from, my sources, for Chalobah to leave Chelsea in January.”
Tottenham are hoping to seal the deal in January. It will boost their chances of Champions League football next season. Moreover, Ange will be hoping to get the deal done quickly.
