Chelsea defender could secure late January move after Blues change their tactic

Football Insider are reporting that Chelsea have changed tack in their plans for Trevoh Chalobah.

The idea for this window – as it was for previous windows – was to sell him as soon as possible to balance the books.

There’s been plenty of rumoured interest, but very little concrete contact from other clubs it seems.

Now, according to this report, Chelsea are changing their plan and are going to allow Chalobah to go on loan, with a view to a permanent move in the summer. It’s not ideal for them, but they clearly think there’s no interest in a permanent move at a price they like now anyway, so they may as well let him go and try to improve his potential sale value by proving himself once again in the top flight.

Fulham, Nottingham Forest and West Ham are all named in this report, although we could see a lot more interest that than now that a loan is on the table.
