Crystal Palace has set its sights on Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah for a potential January transfer, as reported by the Daily Express.

The 24-year-old defender has had a challenging season, sidelined by a thigh injury since August, and hasn’t yet featured under Chelsea’s new head coach, Mauricio Pochettino.

Despite his recovery, Chalobah faces stiff competition for a starting spot due to recent defensive additions at Stamford Bridge.

Crystal Palace’s interest could offer him a fresh start and more regular first-team football in the upcoming transfer window.
