Chelsea defender expected to leave in January

Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah is expected to leave the club during the January transfer window, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Blues were open to parting ways with the centre-back in the summer and they agreed a deal with Nottingham Forest.

However, Chalobah refused to agree personal terms with Steve Cooper's side due to his ambition to join a bigger outfit.

Romano has now revealed that the defender has no future at Chelsea despite the recent backing from the Blues manager.

Mauricio Pochettino recently said that Chalobah remains in his plans, but the hierarchy are preparing for his winter exit.

Chalobah was denied the chance to join Bayern on loan last summer and the German champions could return for him.

Bayern could propose to sign the Blues graduate on a temporary basis with an option or obligation to buy next summer.

Chalobah is currently nursing an injury with the Blues, but he may have already played his final game for the club.
