Crystal Palace Eyes Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea

Crystal Palace is considering a late move for Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea, who is currently training away from the first team as part of the club's 'bomb squad'. This comes as Palace has already agreed on a £17.5 million deal for Wolfsburg's Maxence Lacroix and sold Joachim Andersen to Fulham, while the future of Marc Guehi remains uncertain with interest from Newcastle. Chalobah's departure from Chelsea is viewed as beneficial, especially with the club needing to balance their finances under Premier League rules. The 25-year-old defender has been deemed surplus to requirements by Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca, who has indicated that Chalobah, along with other players like Raheem Sterling and Ben Chilwell, will not see action this season. Additionally, Palace is set to complete the signing of Eddie Nketiah from Arsenal for a reported £25 million plus add-ons. The window closes soon, adding urgency to Palace's efforts to reshape their defense.
