Trevoh Chalobah makes Chelsea promise as Mauricio Pochettino faces £34.6m transfer dilemma

Trevoh Chalobah could establish himself as a key member of the Chelsea squad for years to come if he can impress Mauricio Pochettino in pre-season

Trevoh Chalobah believes he is ready for a Chelsea leadership role after Mauricio Pochettino handed him the captaincy in his debut match. The defender, who was recently heavily linked with a Stamford Bridge exit, guided a fledgling Blues side to a 5-0 victory over Wrexham.

Despite turning just 24 earlier this month, Chalobah was the oldest player in Chelsea’s starting lineup to enter Chapel Hill to face the League Two side. In an interview with the club’s official website, the Cobham graduate acknowledged his responsibility and insisted that he was ready to become a leader.

“It’s crazy how the years go by,” Chalobah said. “I’m in my third season and now I’m one of the oldest players in this young team.

“Having this responsibility is a good thing and it’s important to support young players and make sure they feel comfortable in the team. I know how you feel. I was in his shoes once.

With Pochettino keen to embark on an exciting project in west London, Chalobah claimed he can help the Argentine ‘set the benchmark’. The £34.6million-rated defender added: “I think it’s important that I help set standards.” “I know the club inside out and hope for the younger players I can be a leader and someone they feel comfortable talking to. But I’m also still young so there will be things I can learn from them too.”

“Being together like this is what we have to do this season. We will need everyone. The new players have settled in well.” That’s the nice thing about this group, everyone feels welcome.

“Making people feel comfortable off the pitch is one of the most important things. And when you go out on the pitch, you have that connection.”

Chalobah’s determination to step up and become a leader at Chelsea comes as Pochettino searches for a new captain following the departure of Cesar Azpilicueta. According to the Evening Standard, the 51-year-old will make a final decision on his new captaincy towards the end of pre-season once he has built a stronger relationship with his players.

But the former Tottenham manager already has some candidates in mind. The report indicates that Thiago Silva is a “clear leader” for the takeover which previously took the bracelet last season in the absence of Azpilicueta.

The evening standard has also described Kepa Arrizabalaga, Raheem Sterling and Reece James as other candidates for the role of the captain. After Wesley Fofana should miss a large part of the new season due to injuries, Chalobah has opened a path to force himself at the start of Chelsea and become a key actor.

After the Saudis left and the £65 million Havertz deal, a player who is admired by “people within” Chelsea is reportedly in talks to leave.

There have been several departures from Chelsea this week – now Trevoh Chalobah could be the next to leave Stamford Bridge.

Well, journalist Dean Jones recently told Give Me Sport that “the people at” Chelsea look up to the 23-year-old and believe he can still be a huge success at Stamford Bridge.

However, negotiations have now started between Chelsea and Inter Milan over a deal which would see a move from Chalobah to San Siro.

Football London are said to be in talks over an initial loan deal, with Inter Milan committed to buying the Freetown-born defender next summer.

It’s understood Chelsea would want a buyout clause in any deal with Inter Milan, which the Italian giants aren’t too keen on at the moment. Still, Simone Inzaghi seems determined to sign Chalobah.

Football London explains why Inter Milan view the Chelsea No.14 as someone who is a perfect fit for their style of play, including his versatility.

Trevoh Chalobah set to leave Chelsea

Even though Chalobah is held in high regard by Chelsea, we’d be very surprised if this deal doesn’t go through.

Football London add that the England Under-21 international would like to play regularly in the first team next season as he aims to join Gareth Southgate’s England squad for EURO 2024.

With Mauricio Pochettino’s many defense options at the moment, Chalobah will surely have to leave Chelsea if he is to play regularly. Therefore, we would be shocked if Chalobah doesn’t join Inter Milan this summer.

After Arsenal agreed a £65million deal to sign Havertz, Mateo Kovacic joined Manchester City and N’Golo Kante, Kalidou Koulibaly, Edouard Mendy and Hakim Ziyech left for Saudi Arabia, Chalobah will likely be the next. Next exit.

Mauricio Pochettino prepared his dream £68m striker deal after Chelsea scheduling Nicolas Jackson medical

Chelsea have the tough task of reducing a bloated squad this summer and while they need to beat some players, Mauricio Pochettino remains keen to strengthen his options further.

As Chelsea begin preparing for the departure of N’Golo Kante, Hakim Ziyech and Kalidou Koulibaly, Olympique Lyonnais have reportedly opened a sale – and some diamonds in the rough are up for grabs.

Mauricio Pochettino has been tasked with the difficult task of bringing down a bloated side this summer and while he has some players to beat, the 51-year-old remains keen to bolster his options further.

The Blues have been heavily linked this summer with the likes of Nicolas Jackson, Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia, with Cristopher Nkunku expected to follow suit.

But now Pochettino has had the unique opportunity to invade one of France’s most formidable clubs.

Lyon were bought by an American investor named John Textor late last year, with the 57-year-old since he became club chairman.

And according to RMC Sport, Les Gones will have to raise £111million to avoid sanctions from the Direction Nationale du Contrôle de Gestion, the body which oversees the accounts of French football clubs.

Thiago Mendes

With Lyon desperate to raise funds, several players have been made available for transfers this summer, including Rayan Cherki, Thiago Mendes and Castello Lukeba.

The trio were regulars in the France first team last season and despite their impressive performances, they were available for much less than the market price.

According to L’Equipe, Chelsea tried to sign Lukeba last year but his £38million offer was rejected by Lyon. In a bid to force an exit this summer, the report says the 20-year-old defender was looking to switch agents in April – but it remains to be seen whether he was successful in changing agents.

As for Mendes, he would certainly provide plenty of cover in midfield while the Blues can still get their hands on Caicedo and Lavia, while Cherki scored four goals and six assists in 34 Ligue 1 games last season after being linked on a transfer. to Paris Saint-Germain in January.

With a few busy weeks ahead, Chelsea have already landed a deal for a Lyon star: Malo Gusto. After signing for the Blues in the final week of the January transfer window, he rejoined the French side on loan until the end of the season.

West Londoners reportedly paid around £26m, including add-ons, for the then 19-year-old right-back. Chelsea were to benefit significantly from Gusto’s reception at Stamford Bridge in the winter, with Reece James’ injury record becoming an issue.

But they could not agree on this as part of the deal. Pochettino will be delighted to team up with two of the most exciting young full-backs on his arrival at Cobham training ground on July 1 – and perhaps Gusto can take Cherki along…

Trevoh Chalobah speaks out regarding Chelsea’s future amid Inter Milan transfer links

Trevoh Chalobah has been linked with a move to Inter Milan and has spent some of his free time in Italy amid speculation over his Chelsea future

Trevoh Chalobah has left the possibility of a move to Italy open amid interest from Inter Milan, but noted his focus is on Chelsea at the moment. The Blues defender is currently on holiday in the country while Chelsea are yet to return for pre-season.

football.london understood that the 23-year-old also had to decide whether or not Milan was a suitable place to live.

It is believed that the defender was set for a meeting over a potential move to Internazionale, where a deal is being negotiated with Chelsea.

Chalobah was linked with a move from Stamford Bridge 12 months ago when, alongside Tottenham, Inter and Roma were also interested in a possible move.

The Cobham product ultimately remained in west London and was one of the most successful clubs under Graham Potter and Frank Lampard.

From today’s perspective, he will face a lot of competition in the 2023/24 season.

Chelsea will add Levi Colwill to their ranks after his loan spell at Brighton, with Wesley Fofana, Benoit Badiashile, Thiago Silva and Kalidou Koulibaly also providing competition.

The latter could still leave the club as Mauricio Pochettino is known to bet on a back four instead of a back three. The season could be difficult for some who don’t have European football.

Regular playing time is said to be one of Chalobah’s priorities heading into EURO 2024 next season.

The former Lorient player made 33 appearances for Les Bleus last season, mostly as a central defender. football.london are aware that Inter would have to put a lot of effort into signing him.

Speaking to Sky Sports in Milan, Chalobah was cautious about his future but praised Italy and Serie A.

He said: “Obviously you don’t know what the future holds. I also played in France when I was loaned out there, in England and you never know.”

Playing in a new destination is something the player has to experience. You don’t know what the future holds for you. Italy is a beautiful country and the Italian league is also very good. You don’t know what the future holds for you.

I’m still a Chelsea player and my focus is on Chelsea, but you never know what the future holds. I like it here in Italy, the weather is nice, the people are nice, the food is good and I enjoy my time here.

Chalobah’s future is yet to be decided, but with Pochettino set to build a new culture at Chelsea after his squad was downsized, the young defender could play a key role.

Former caretaker manager Frank Lampard has been very positive about Chalobah’s candidacy during his time at the club.

The former Chelsea midfielder said: “It was good and I appreciate what a quality player he is. The biggest picture is how he engages since I’ve been back. C It’s a pleasure to train with him every day because he comes with enthusiasm.

He’s easy to deal with and when you talk about the things you want he tries to implement them on the pitch – which is a good thing.”
