Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea reportedly do not want to sell Newcastle United target Trevoh Chalobah.

According to 90min, Newcastle United are interested in signing Trevoh Chalobah from Premier League rivals Chelsea in the summer transfer window.

The report has claimed that Newcastle have “have registered an interest in the 23-year-old”.

However, Chelsea are “keen to keep Chalobah” and do not want to sell the £50,000-a-week (Spotac) player to Newcastle or any other clubs who are interested in him.

West Ham United, Crystal Palace and Inter Milan are also interested in the English youngster, who can operate as a central defender or as a defensive midfielder.

Could Newcastle United sign Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea?

In our opinion, Newcastle United could find it tough to sign Trevoh Chalobah if Chelsea are not willing to sell him in the summer transfer window.

Chelsea are a big and wealthy club, and if the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners are not going to sell a player, then they will not.

Unless, of course, they are offered a ridiculous amount of money.

Now, of course, Chalobah will have a big say on his future.

It is not going to be easy for the youngster to play week in and week out for Chelsea next season.

But, if the Blues do not want to sell him and want to keep him, then it does indicate to him that they value him.

And that will motivate him to do better.

Chalobah made 18 starts and seven substitute appearances in the Premier League for Chelsea last season.

The 23-year-old played predominately as a centre-back, but he did feature at right-back in some matches as well.
