Inter Milan really like Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah as a potential transfer target.
That is according to journalist Bobby Vincent.
Trevoh Chalobah has become a bit of a forgotten man at Chelsea because he’s not played a single minute yet this season due to injury.
His lack of football hasn’t stopped his name regularly popping up in the transfer rumour mill, though.
Will the 24-year-old defender still be at Stamford Bridge by the time the January window closes?

Speaking on the Si Phillips Talks Chelsea podcast this week, Vincent has reported that Italian giants Inter Milan are long-term admirers of Chelsea’s Chalobah. They wouldn’t rule out a move for the Blues centre-back.
Apparently, Chelsea are more than happy to offload the academy graduate if someone meets their £35m asking price.
“Fulham are interested and they’ve enquired about him. I’ve also heard that Inter Milan are still interested and they have been for a while,” Vincent said.
“I was speaking to someone at Stamford Bridge after the Fulham win and they were saying Inter Milan still really like him and wouldn’t rule him out.
“Chelsea are more than happy to get a decent fee. They’d be asking for in the region of £35 million.”
This comes after recent claims from The Daily Mail that Chelsea could try sell Chalobah to generate funds to sign a new left-back.
Inter Milan admire Trevoh Chalobah
Several players have ditched Chelsea for the Serie A in recent years and enjoyed real success, so we’re intrigued to see if Chalobah follows in their footsteps.
We think Chalobah’s shown in 63 senior appearances for Chelsea that he’s good enough for this level. However, we’ll admit his name is probably one of the first we’d put forward when it comes to selling academy graduates to help generate pure profit on the balance sheet.
When everyone’s fit and available, Chalobah wouldn’t be in our top two or three centre-backs at the club.
If the price is right, selling the versatile defender could make the most sense.
