Trevoh Chalobah 'happy to stay at Chelsea'

Trevoh Chalobah is reportedly content to remain at Chelsea for the rest of the season, despite alleged interest from elsewhere.

Trevoh Chalobah is reportedly not in any rush to leave Chelsea on deadline day.

Despite featuring throughout pre-season under Mauricio Pochettino, the defender has not made a single competitive appearance this season.

Much of that has been down to injury, the academy graduate having only recently made a full return to training after a thigh problem.

However, during the closing days of the summer transfer window, the 24-year-old had been made available for transfer by co-owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital.

Given his status as a homegrown player, that has remained the case in January at a time when Chelsea have work to do in order to ensure that they comply with all FFP regulations.

The departure of Chalobah has become increasingly important with Conor Gallagher not attracting offers in excess of £40m and showing no willingness to depart Stamford Bridge.

Furthermore, Chelsea have found themselves in a similar situation regarding Armando Broja, already allegedly reducing his asking price from £50m to £35m and now being ready to consider loan approaches.

Nevertheless, according to journalist Ben Jacobs, who was posting on X, Chalobah is only prepared to accept certain offers to leave his boyhood club.

Jacobs claims that the versatile Englishman is happy to bide his time until the summer, when more attractive and suitable proposals may materialise.

West Ham United, Nottingham Forest and Atletico Madrid allegedly failed to back up their initial interest, seemingly leaving Chalobah short of options.

Chalobah is said to be targeting European football for next season, but offers from such teams at this stage are said to be in short supply.

Pochettino recently indicated that he was looking forward to welcoming Chalobah back into the first-team picture at Chelsea, and the 4-1 defeat at Liverpool on Wednesday has theoretically increased Chalobah's chances of a surprise recall to the squad.

There are still four-and-a-half years remaining on Chalobah's contract, with Chelsea allegedly looking for at least £25m to give the green light to a sale.
