  • Chelsea recall Trevoh Chalobah from Crystal Palace loan


    Jan 15, 2025, 01:18 PM ET

    Chelsea have recalled centre-back Trevoh Chalobah from his loan at Crystal Palace as they look to bolster their defensive options for the second half of the season.

    Chalobah, 25, had made 14 appearances for Palace under Oliver Glasner this season but now moves back west across London with Enzo Maresca’s team in the midst of a slump in their league form.

    Chelsea had emerged as surprise title contenders before a run of five Premier League games without a win that has left them 10 points behind Liverpool having played a game more.

    Sources had told ESPN that Maresca and Chelsea were considering a move for Marc Guéhi, Chalobah’s partner at the heart of the Palace defence, though the loan recall makes any move for the England international considerably less likely.

    “He [Chalobah] wants to stay here but it’s a decision that Chelsea can take to call him back,” Glasner said of the then-impending decision in a news conference on Tuesday. “We are passengers, we are not the pilot who is flying the plane.”

    Maresca described Chalobah as “a good player” at a news conference of his own last Friday, but refused to comment further as he was a Palace player, and now the Italian coach has moved to fill the holes left by injuries to Wesley Fofana and Benoît Badiashile.

    Reece James scored his first goal in nearly two years to rescue a point for Chelsea against Bournemouth on Tuesday. They will hope to return to winning ways against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday.



    Chelsea Football Club has made the decision to recall defender Trevoh Chalobah from his loan spell at Crystal Palace. The 22-year-old had been impressing during his time with the Eagles, making 18 appearances in all competitions.

    Chalobah, who is the younger brother of Chelsea midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah, has been a key player for Crystal Palace this season, helping them to climb up the Premier League table. His performances have caught the eye of Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel, who has decided to bring him back to Stamford Bridge.

    It is unclear what role Chalobah will play at Chelsea, with the club already having a number of talented defenders in their squad. However, his versatility and ability to play in multiple positions could see him given opportunities to impress in the first team.

    Chelsea fans will be excited to see Chalobah back at the club and will be hoping that he can continue his development and make an impact in the first team. Stay tuned for updates on Chalobah’s future at Chelsea.

  • Trevoh Chalobah: From Chelsea’s ‘bomb squad’ to emergency recall


    Photographs from Chelsea’s Cobham training ground on Friday appeared to support Maresca’s description of Chalobah’s “happy” demeanour.

    But each transfer window must bring a sense of de ja vu for Chalobah, having been made available for sale in the past three.

    Nottingham Forest had a bid accepted at £25m on deadline day in September 2023, when Chalobah was first put on the market, but the player ultimately rejected the move.

    Chalobah was up for sale again in the January 2024 window, but no-one met the £25m asking price, despite reported interest from Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United.

    The England Under-21 international then battled his way into Mauricio Pochettino’s first team and was the starting centre-back at the end of the 2023-24 season – only to be made available for sale again this summer, with Pochettino sacked.

    Again no substantial, permanent offer came and he joined Palace on loan minutes before the summer transfer window closed.

    Glasner was told hours before Palace beat Stockport in the FA Cup third round that a “contractual issue” meant he could not play Chalobah, leaving his squad a man short.

    On 13 January he told media that Chalobah “wants to stay” – a claim corroborated by BBC Sport from several sources close to the player.

    However, a phone call on 14 January from sporting director Paul Winstanley convinced Chalobah that a return to play at Stamford Bridge would be productive, with a prominent role to be expected in the coming weeks.

    That conversation followed an earlier, unplanned meeting with Winstanley, his co-sporting director Laurence Stewart and co-owner Behdad Eghbali at Selhurst Park after the 1-1 draw between Palace and Chelsea earlier this month.

    Chalobah had walked into the away dressing room after the match to speak with friend Reece James and ended up talking to the three executives.

    Palace haven’t criticised Chelsea and accept the terms of the initial agreement made on deadline day in the summer.



    Trevoh Chalobah: From Chelsea’s ‘bomb squad’ to emergency recall

    Trevoh Chalobah’s journey at Chelsea has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. The 22-year-old defender was once considered surplus to requirements and was even banished to the club’s infamous ‘bomb squad’ – a group of players deemed surplus to requirements and forced to train away from the first team.

    However, Chalobah has turned his fortunes around in remarkable fashion. After impressing on loan at French side Lorient last season, the young defender was recalled to Chelsea in January due to a defensive crisis at the club.

    Since his return, Chalobah has been a revelation. He has put in a series of solid performances at the heart of Chelsea’s defense, showcasing his composure on the ball, aerial prowess, and defensive nous. His standout performance came in Chelsea’s crucial Champions League clash against Atletico Madrid, where he put in a commanding display to help his side secure a vital victory.

    Chalobah’s rise from the ‘bomb squad’ to becoming an integral part of Chelsea’s first team is a testament to his character, determination, and talent. His emergence as a key player for the Blues has been a pleasant surprise for many Chelsea fans, who are now eagerly anticipating what the future holds for this promising young defender.
