Chalobah fears that the signing will block his pathway and could seek either a loan or permanent move.

Tuchel has only started the defender in 10 games out of 33 matches during 2022, after using him more regularly in opening stages of last season

Any new signing could knock the former Lorient, Ipswich and Huddersfield loanee down to sixth in the pecking order in west London.

He does, however, have a deal running until 2026 which gives Chelsea a strong say over his future.

Chalobah’s decision to look for a move could impact Ethan Ampadu who has offers from Empoli, Spezia and teams in Europe’s top five leagues.

Really not feeling comfortable with the idea that if we have a central defender come in that we will have to let Trevoh Chalobah go. Never let us down last season & feel we should keep him this season. pic.twitter.com/0gunY63G2R

His exit is currently being blocked by Chelsea who don’t want to be left short at the back.

The west Londoners have shown no sign of giving up in signing Fofana despite having two bids up to £70m rejected so far.

They’ve also made offers for attackers including Everton’s Anthony Gordon and Barcelona’s Pierre Emerick Aubameyang over the last week.
