Squad Depth: Man Utd Join Tottenham In The Race For £25m English Center-Back

Manchester United have joined Tottenham and Fulham in the race for Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah.

The 24-year-old has been deemed surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge and is one of several players who could leave the club.

Chalobah still has four years left on his Chelsea contract. While the club will not force him out, they’re willing to listen to offers from the Premier League and abroad.

The former England Under-21 international struggled with a lengthy hamstring injury and didn’t feature in Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea team during the first half of the season.

He was in terrific form for the Blues towards the end of the season, but that has done little to convince the club to retain his services.

Despite being one of the better centre-backs on the Blues roster, they have slapped a bargain £25 million price tag on him.

Manchester United view Chalobah as cheap center-back option for squad-depth with a few defensive departure other than Raphael Varane expected in the coming weeks.
