Tottenham interested in signing Chelsea’s Trevor Chalobah in January | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur are looking to bolster their defence in the January transfer window and are keen to sign Trevor Chalobah from Chelsea, according to TEAMtalk.

Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has already stressed the need to sign a new defender next month, and the club have been linked with a host of players.

The 24-year-old has been targeted by Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace, but Spurs are looking more active in the race to secure his signature.

They have already made contact with Chalobah’s representatives about a move to north London.

Chelsea have spent over £1 billion since Todd Boehly took over but are still looking to spend heavily to bolster the squad.

Some new faces are expected to arrive but they are also looking to ship out unwanted players.

Roma have reportedly reached an agreement over the potential transfer of Chalobah.

Italian outlet Il Romanista, as cited and translated by Sport Witness, claimed that Roma’s club’s director Tiago Pinto has secured an agreement for the player.

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has given the green light for the transfer to go through.

Spurs need a new centre-back

Spurs need a top-quality centre-back after the injury to Micky van de Ven. Cristian Romero continues to divide opinion among the fans and pundits, but he is still a key player for the club.

Ben Davies has done well alongside him, but Eric Dier has been disappointing. Dier will probably be sold by Postecoglou at some point, which means the club must look to buy one quality defender.

Chalobah probably would love to continue in the Premier League, and a move to Spurs could appeal to him. He has made 63 first-team appearances and signed a long-term deal in November 2022.
