As the summer transfer window nears its close, Crystal Palace is poised to make one last attempt to sign Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah. With just two days remaining before the deadline at 11 p.m. on Friday, the Eagles are reportedly preparing a renewed bid for the 25-year-old center-back.
Chalobah, who has been frozen out of Chelsea’s first team under head coach Enzo Maresca, faces an uncertain future at Stamford Bridge. Despite interest from several clubs, including Nottingham Forest and Atalanta, Chalobah has so far turned down offers, leaving Chelsea frustrated with the stalled negotiations.
Journalist Simon Phillips reports that Crystal Palace, dealing with a defensive crisis, is considering a final push to secure Chalobah’s services. However, Palace will need to increase their initial low offers to meet Chelsea’s valuation if they hope to strike a deal before the window shuts.
With time running out, it remains to be seen whether Chalobah will find a new home before the transfer deadline, or if he will be left without regular first-team football this season.
