Reports indicate that Tottenham Hotspur remains eager to secure the signature of Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah as they aim to strengthen their squad. According to 90min, the club is already formulating plans for the upcoming January transfer window and has identified a center-back as their top priority.
Tottenham is said to be closely monitoring Chalobah, whom they had previously targeted during the summer transfer window. The North London team, currently leading the Premier League, recognizes the need to bolster their squad in order to maintain their position.
Chalobah, a product of Chelsea’s esteemed academy, has faced challenges in consistently securing a starting role for the club. Injuries and the preferences of past managers have hindered the 24-year-old center-back’s progress. However, if he can recover from his current injury setback before January, acquiring him would be a smart move.
Notably, Chalobah boasts remarkable versatility, capable of playing across the back four as well as in defensive midfield if required. He is still in the early stages of his career and demonstrates immense potential.
Yet, Chalobah’s lack of playing time this season due to injury raises concerns. Tottenham recognizes the need for a stronger squad to maintain their position at the top of the league, but signing Chalobah carries an element of risk due to the uncertainty surrounding his long-term injury. In addition to Chalobah, Spurs have also shown interest in Bournemouth’s Lloyd Kelly as a potential defensive addition.
As Tottenham continues their impressive form, it will be intriguing to observe whether they can sustain their momentum. Their unexpected rise to the top of the division may facilitate the attraction of star players during the January transfer window.
