Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah attracting interest from AS Roma: Good move for him?

The
English
rose
to
the
occasion
last
season
when
former
manager
Thomas
Tuchel
almost
regularly
used
him
throughout
the
season
in
a
three-man
defence.
He
played
20
of
Chelsea’s
38
Premier
League
games
as
he
established
himself
as
an
important
member
of
the
first-team
squad
after
a
series
of
loan
spells.

The
23-year-old
also
started
in
both
the
Carabao
Cup
and
FA
Cup
final
against
Liverpool.

However,
the
arrivals
of
Wesley
Fofana
and
Kalidou
Koulibaly
has
seen
Chalobah’s
first-team
chances
decrease.
He
has
played
just
one
game
in
all
competitions
so
far
this
season.
It
still
remains
to
be
seen
how
new
manager
Graham
Potter
uses
him,
however
as
per
the
early
indication
he
may
not
see
changes
in
the
scene
immediately.

The
English
manager
has
hinted
at
using
a
back
four
defence,
meaning
Chalobah
may
not
be
higher
in
the
pecking
order
yet.
As
a
result,
the
23-year-old
defender
is
reportedly
exploring
an
option
away
from
Stamford
Bridge
in
January
for
more
game-time
and
as
per
rumours,
former
Chelsea
manager
Jose
Mourinho
has
shown
interest.

The
Portuguese
manager
has
successfully
poached
talents
from
England
since
taking
charge.
Chris
Smalling
has
become
a
really
solid
defender
in
the
Serie
A
and
the
most
important
name
in
that
list
includes
former
Chelsea
striker
Tammy
Abraham.
The
young
England
international
has
established
himself
as
a
fan
favourite
in
Rome.
So
it
would
be
no
surprise
if
Chalobah
wishes
to
try
a
move.

Should
Chalobah
seek
a
move
to
Roma?

The
English
defender
pushed
for
a
loan
exit
in
the
summer
but
a
move
never
materialized.
With
game-time
still
limited
he
is
likely
to
seek
an
exit
once
again
in
January.
Chelsea
will
not
sanction
a
permanent
departure
for
the
23-year-old
but
could
be
willing
to
send
him
out
on
loan.

A
move
away
could
seriously
benefit
the
career
of
a
player
with
bundles
of
talent
and
no
one
can
be
better
than
Jose
Mourinho
to
develop
a
young
defender.
The
move
can
see
him
getting
more
game-time
and
if
he
delivers,
he
can
also
stake
a
claim
in
the
first-team
next
season.
