Manchester United are eyeing a surprise swoop for Chelsea star Trevoh Chalobah after the defender was left out of the Blues’ pre-season tour in a savage twist, according to reports.
Chalobah has been on Chelsea’s books since he was eight years old and has gone on to play 80 times for the club, chipping in with five goals and winning trophies such as the FIFA Club World Cup and UEFA Super Cup. The centre-half, who can also play as a right-back, made 17 appearances last season after returning from a thigh injury which ruled him out for several months.
But Chalobah has fallen down the pecking order due to Chelsea’s vast spending in recent transfer windows and the West London side are now eager to sell him to help with Profit and Sustainability rules.
Chalobah has been brutally told he will not take part in Chelsea’s pre-season tour of the US as Todd Boehly and co. try to force him out.
The 25-year-old, meanwhile, is simply holding out for the right club when leaving Chelsea, having already rejected Nottingham Forest, Fulham and Crystal Palace previously.
