Italian giants preparing for long term battle for Chelsea academy talent

The transfer window is closed, but reports in Italy about Inter Milan interest in Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah rattle on.

Chelsea have sold a few players to Serie A in recent years, with both Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori looking great after making the move. It seem the Nerazzuri are keen to get in on the act.

Inter know they are in strong position here. With Thiago Silva, Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile likely to hoover up the majority of remaining minutes this season (if we go out against Dortmund in the Champions League we have only Premier League matches left) Chaobah is going to be more inclined than every to leave come the summer, and with Chelsea then looking to get some nice sales on the books to balance out their spend, we can imagine the club playing ball too.

It’s going to be a slow burner, but keep your eyes on it.
