Tottenham join £42m Chelsea transfer race as youngster considers future amid Wesley Fofana bid

Tottenham Hotspur are said to have joined the race to sign Trevoh Chalobah, with the defender facing an increasingly uncertain future at Chelsea under Thomas Tuchel. The 23-year-old has been thinly linked with an exit from Stamford Bridge this summer but, as the Blues step up their pursuit of Wesley Fofana, an exit seems to be well on the cards.

According to the Evening Standard, Spurs are ready to rival Inter Milan and Roma for the Cobham graduate's signature this summer. It's said that Chalobah, who sees his current deal at the club expire in 2026, has concerns over his game time in west London amid fears that signing Fofana will block his pathway.

The report adds that the former England youth international could seek either a loan or permanent move in a bid to recapture the exciting form enjoyed in the early stages of last season. Chalobah, who is valued at around £42.2million by CIES Football Observatory, has started just ten games from a possible 33 under Tuchel in 2022 and, with Fofana edging closer to an exit from Leicester City, that looks to only diminish.
