West Bromwich Albion are believed to be looking to strengthen in midfield this summer.
According to the Daily Mirror, Chelsea are set to loan out Nathaniel Chalobah this summer – and West Bromwich Albion should join the race for the youngster’s signature.
Chalobah is said to want first-team football, which he simply cannot be guaranteed at Chelsea.
The Blues’ depth of options in central midfield, means Chalobah has been limited to substitute appearances in recent years.
And the 22-year-old is now keen to receive regular action, as he wants to test himself at Premier League level.
The Mirror claim that both Watford and Swansea City want to sign Chalobah, but West Brom should rival them in the race for the England youth international.
Chalobah stood out at the recent European under-21 Championships, and appears to be ready to burst on to the big stage.
The prospect possesses great physical strength, which will be important for Tony Pulis, but he is also composed in possession.
Chalobah could form a very solid partnership with Jake Livermore if he was brought to the Hawthorns, and West Brom should seriously consider making a move for the Chelsea man, as Pulis looks to strengthen his midfield options this summer.
