West Ham United are interested in signing Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah, who has been deemed surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge.
The 25-year-old has been excluded from Chelsea’s pre-season tour squad, indicating the club’s intention to offload him this summer. The Blues are seeking to raise funds for new signings and have placed Chalobah on the transfer list.
West Ham are among several Premier League clubs monitoring the situation, with the Hammers keen to bolster their defensive options. The Hammers are exploring the possibility of signing Chalobah as they look to find alternatives to Jean-Clair Todibo which looks to have broken down completely.
The centre-back, described as a ‘soldier’ by Graham Potter, is one of the players the Blues are still looking to offload in the transfer window, alongside Romelu Lukaku and Armando Broja.
The trio have so far failed to attract concrete interest from clubs around the continent as Chelsea look to bring in extra funds for new signings before the window shuts on the 30th of August.
However, West Ham may need to offload defenders Kurt Zouma or Nayef Aguerd to create space for the Chelsea man in their squad. Speculation for Aguerd has increased during recent days but the Irons still haven’t received a single bid for the defender.
Forget Todibo for Chalobah, you must be smoking something hallucinogenic, Chalobah is useless, if he is a soldier, cannon fodder comes to mind. Most of his career has been on the physio’s bench the other the subs bench.
Can anybody tell me how we are linked to so many players?, seems like total mayhem, secondly and probably more importantly just how much do West Ham have in the kitty? Bearing in mind it’s not an endless pot , Is the plan to sell Kudus? 🤔COYI.
Sell Kudus? Are you off your rocker!
The cottage industry called recycled content, one person posts something then when the lazy journo’s have a quiet day they recycle it 10 different ways.
Agree it is mayhem.
Zoom(a) spends to much time running around looking for his legs, bench warmer at best.
Aguerd doesn’t need to sold at a considerable loss (no less than £27m).
Chalobah has capability of playing c/bk and r/bk (pity he can’t play l/bk).
As mentioned he has been left out of tour and may feel he’s on his way out.
£25m mentioned no doubt the offer will be £20m.
Already have Emerson who was a Chelsea player, that transfer was a saga.
The Irons want to offer a much lower fee with incentive-based add-ons based on performances, such as first-team starts and goals. The structure of the deal isn’t the same loan-to-buy offer.
WH will buy him, only if CFC agrees on the same terms which is offering J. Duran. Plus , if Terva scores 20+ goles,.
CFC can’t offer J. Duran as he’s owned by Aston Villa.
Also, it’s goals (not goles). Welcome to England, Oscar!
Chelsea reject, not even gone on their USA tour.
No such thing as a reject any more. Clubs need to move players on these days in order to balance future books and for no reason other than that.
If they’re heavy on centre backs it’s a centre back, if it’s midfielders they’re heavy on then it’s a midfielder.
What they can’t do is not balance the books and have points deducted.
Aguerd looks very likely to go, Zouma is likely to run his contract out. We cannot run with Mavropanos and Kilman with only Zouma as backup, someone needs to come in and Chalobah is as likely as any.
Unless it’s just lazy journalists putting 2 + 2 together and having us interested in Chalibah, just because he’s been left at home while they go on tour, and us wanting a new centre back. It was actually mentioned on a forum that maybe we should look at Chalobah and now ‘we’re interested’
This one makes perfect sense. Good player, young and homegrown. Wonder if we’ll pay what Chelsea want for him? Or if we can offload Zouma or Aguerd first?
Got goals in him as well. Would love to see him join
Yes I agree.
Perfect signing for us! Made Chelsea more solid when he played, has a goal threat and can also play RB.
£25m get it done!
