£30m player now expecting to leave in January, after Tottenham made deadline day move
In his most recent YouTube video, Romano spoke on the future of Chalobah following Tottenham’s interest in him over the summer.
Micky van de Ven was a summer addition that helped Ange Postecoglou strengthen his defense, but he would have preferred to add at least one more center-back.
Alfie Dorrington and Ashley Phillips, two young players, have been left as backup alternatives for Cristian Romero and Van de Ven, according to the Australian manager.
After being left out of every matchday squad thus far this season, Eric Dier has been frozen out under Postecoglou.
Though Trevoh Chalobah was a goal, Spurs did make an attempt to sign a new center-back on the deadline day earlier this month.
Furthermore, according to Romano, Chalobah plans to depart Chelsea in January.
Chalobah set to leave Chelsea in January
Romano said in his most recent YouTube video that Chalobah rejected a £30 million transfer to Nottingham Forest on deadline day.
While Spurs were unable to sign the 24-year-old after failing to trade Eric Dier, Bayern Munich was also interested in him.
Romano anticipates Chalobah to leave Stamford Bridge in the upcoming transfer window.
Tottenham was a possibility in the final hours before the transfer deadline, but nothing tangible happened because Tottenham didn’t trade Eric Dier because they wanted to make room for Chalobah, according to the source in charge of transactions.
But in the past 24 hours, we’ve heard that Chalobah has rejected a permanent transfer from Nottingham Forest and is already very sure he won’t play for Chelsea.
According to what I’ve heard, Chelsea agreed to a proposal and desired Chalobah to join Forest. The club hasn’t officially informed Chalobah that he won’t be playing for Chelsea again, though, at the same time.
Chalobah plans to leave Chelsea in January, according to reports, which makes the player’s message quite obvious. Therefore, there is a perception among the club and the players that Chalobah would depart Chelsea due to some circumstance.
That’s how the English center back is feeling, and according to my sources, Chalobah will depart Chelsea in January.
Chalobah has struggled this season while playing for Mauricio Pochettino and doesn’t appear to be in the former Tottenham manager’s plans.
Under Frank Lampard, the Englishman made his debut for Chelsea, and Thomas Tuchel frequently utilized him as well.
However, it appears that his time in West London is running out, and Spurs are rumored to be interested.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham decides to renew their interest after being linked to a move for Bournemouth’s Lloyd Kelly in January.
