TOP STORY: Chalobah remains in Tuchel’s plans
Internazionale and AC Milan have been dealt a blow in their transfer ambitions with news that Chelsea will not let Trevoh Chalobah leave this window, according to Sky Sports Italia.
The 23-year-old was reportedly set for a loan spell in Serie A to make room for Wesley Fofana, who is set to move to Stamford Bridge from Leicester City. However, the Italian sides have reportedly been informed that the centre-back will remain in west London this summer after being handed a start in Chelsea’s 2-1 win over the Foxes on Saturday.
The England under-21 international made 31 appearances across all competitions for the Blues last season. However, he was set for less playing time following Thomas Tuchel’s defensive rebuild this summer, which led to the arrival of Kalidou Koulibaly.
With Chalobah now unavailable, it is reported that the Nerazzurri will finalise a deal with Lazio for Francesco Acerbi, whilst the Rossoneri are set to move for Schalke‘s Malick Thiaw, with Japhet Tanganga from Tottenham Hotspur also a defensive option for Stefano Pioli’s side.
