Graham Potter can save Chelsea £120m with new Trevoh Chalobah role amid Kante contract situation

Chelsea star Trevoh Chalobah could save Todd Boehly over £100million after Graham Potter trialled the English defender in a new position during the international break.

Chalobah looked to impress Potter whilst others went away on international duty as the Blues took part in a behind-closed-doors friendly, as per talkSPORT. The 23-year-old has made just one appearance for Chelsea so far this season and the arrivals of Kalidou Koulibaly, Wesley Fofana and Marc Cucurella have seen his first team opportunities limited.

Chalobah was linked with a loan move away to AC Milan over the summer, but the club opted to keep him at the club to provide squad depth rather than send him out on a season-long loan move and continue his development. Potter could solve the ongoing midfield issue at Stamford Bridge by deploying the English defender in a more advanced role, protecting the defence in a midfield position.
