Chelsea appear to have been dealt a blow in their efforts to offload Trevoh Chalobah.
If the Blues want to add to their squad in January, they will likely have to offload players to balance the books – and Chalobah is one name who has been linked with a departure from Stamford Bridge.
The 24-year-old centre-back has not featured this season as he continues to work his way back from a hamstring injury.

After rising through Chelsea's youth ranks, Chalobah – whose older brother Nathaniel followed the same path – made his first-team debut in the Blues' 2021 UEFA Super Cup victory over Villarreal.

Chalobah was part of the England squad which won the 2017 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.
