<\/p>\nChelsea will continue to reshuffle Mauricio Pochettino's squad in the January transfer window as the Argentine tries to turn things around at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n
According to reports, defender Trevoh Chalobah is expected to leave the injury crisis hit club when the window reopens. It comes after a summer of major change at Stamford Bridge, as the Blues look to offload their fringe players and make room for new signings.<\/p>\n
Pochettino, the former Tottenham boss who took charge of Chelsea in the summer, was vocal about his desire for reinforcements in all areas of the team. He has already made significant changes to the squad, such as bringing in Robert Sanchez in goal and Nicolas Jackson to lead the line.<\/p>\n
The midfield has also undergone a major overhaul, with the arrivals of Moises Caicedo, Cole Palmer and Romeo Lavia. While the defence saw changes under previous manager Graham Potter, Pochettino brought in Axel Disasi from AS Monaco and kept Levi Colwill at the club after his loan spell at Brighton.<\/p>\n

As a result, Chalobah has found himself slipping down the pecking order and is now expected to seek opportunities elsewhere. According to Fabrizio Romano (via the Express) the 24-year-old was close to joining Bayern Munich during the summer transfer window. <\/p>\n
The player was reportedly keen on reuniting with former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel at the Allianz Arena but a switch failed to materialise. Nottingham Forest also made a bid for Chalobah, but he turned down the approach. <\/p>\n
He is sidelined with a hamstring injury at the moment, but it is unlikely the former England youth international would have featured prominently in Pochettino's plans anyway – despite the Chelsea manager denying he has 'frozen him out'. Transfermarkt estimates that Chalobah could command a fee of around \u00a315 million.<\/p>\n

His status as a homegrown player and his long-term contract with Chelsea may drive up the asking price. Chalobah, who spent time on loan at Lorient, signed a contract extension with Chelsea last year, tying him to the club until 2028. He is highly regarded for his versatility, being able to play across the backline and adapt to different roles in midfield when required.<\/p>\n
