Tottenham Hotspur has been linked with a move for the Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah.
The 24-year-old versatile defender is expected to leave Chelsea in the summer in search of regular playing time and a report from HITC claims that Tottenham have made enquiries for him. Chelsea will demand a fee of around £30 million for the defender and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham are willing to sign him.
It is no secret that Tottenham will have to add more quality and depth to their defensive unit. Signing the versatile Chelsea defender could prove to be a wise decision. The 24-year-old is well-settled in English and he could make an instant impact at the North London club.
He is versatile enough to operate as the right back as well as the central defender. He could be an asset for Tottenham during injuries and rotation.
The reported asking price might seem steep for someone who is unwanted at the club. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can negotiate a more reasonable price with Chelsea.
Tottenham have an exciting project and a quality manager at the helm. The 24-year-old utility man could be attracted to the idea of joining them this summer. It remains to be seen whether Chelsea are prepared to sell him to a direct rival.
Chalobah needs to play regularly at this stage of his career and Spurs will be able to provide him with that opportunity. He is tactically flexible enough to slot into a back three as well as a back four. Tottenham will need to players like him, especially if they want to do well across multiple competitions.
