According to a report from Football.London, Bayern Munich continue to express interest in Trevoh Chalobah, even after his proposed transfer to Bavaria fell through on deadline day. Chalobah is eager to make the move, but he has been sidelined this season due to injury. While discussions are underway regarding a potential loan arrangement with a buy option, no formal negotiations have taken place as of now.
Chalobah’s Impressive Premier League Form From Last Season
In the previous campaign, Chalobah established himself as a consistent presence at the heart of Chelsea’s defense, delivering a series of commanding performances in the Premier League. The 24-year-old featured in 34 matches for the Blues during the season and received five yellow cards across various competitions.
The English defensive talent proved to be a dependable figure in the defensive third of the field, averaging 1.2 tackles, 1.0 interceptions, and 2.2 clearances per 90 minutes in the Premier League. He also showcased his precision in distributing the ball from the back, boasting an 88.5% passing success rate in league matches (statistics sourced from whoscored).
His existing contract with Chelsea is set to run until 2028, making it challenging for Bayern Munich to secure his services at a bargain price in this summer’s transfer window.
Should Chelsea Boss Mauricio Pochettino Sanction His Exit?
Chalobah exhibits strong tackling skills and possesses the ability to time his challenges effectively, enabling him to regain possession for his team within his own half. Furthermore, he doesn’t hesitate to clear the danger when the opposition mounts an offensive threat.
This English talent is also proficient in playing out from the back. While his primary role is as a central defender, he can also perform admirably as a right-back when called upon.
Chalobah has the potential to compete for a regular starting position at Stamford Bridge. His departure would create a noticeable void in Mauricio Pochettino’s defensive lineup, so the Chelsea manager should consider harnessing his abilities once he recovers from his injuries and offer him more opportunities rather than approving his departure.
