Report explains why Spurs are now unlikely to sign Chelsea star this summer

Football.London’s Alasdair Gold has confirmed that while Tottenham do like Trevoh Chalobah, the centre-back will be looking for regular game time amidst any transfer this summer.

Tottenham like Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah

According to various reports over the last few weeks, Chalobah is one of several players that Chelsea are expected to cash in on as soon as the transfer market opens, with the Blues needing to raise funds to ensure they do not fall foul of PSR (The Times).

Several outlets have reported recently that Tottenham are expected to push ahead with a move for the 24-year-old as Ange Postecoglou seeks to bolster his options at the back (The Telegraph).

The Standard reported on May 31 that Spurs could have competition to contend with from Man Utd for the defender, with the Red Devils said to be big fans of the England international.

Trevoh Chalobah will want regular game time

Gold has now revealed that Tottenham have held a ‘long-term interest’ in Chalobah and are continuing to monitor his situation.

However, the journalist explains that the defender would expect to be a regular starter at his next club, having played regularly for Chelsea last season after returning from his injury.

Gold points out that Ange Postecoglou may not be able to offer Chalobha any sort of guarantees, given the centre-backs the Australian has at his disposal.

This is Tottenham’s biggest problem when it comes to their search for a new centre-back.

No promising young defender is going to be particularly keen on being the fourth choice and getting the odd game here and there.
