Leeds United are one of the Premier League sides to have made contact with the agents of Trevoh Chalobah over a potential loan move, with 90min reporting that he could yet leave Chelsea this summer.

Chalobah is yet to feature for the Blues this term. The 23-year-old has been left on the bench for all three of their Premier League games so far.

And he could get the green light to leave. 90min reports that Chelsea will allow Chalobah to leave on loan should they sign another defender as they continue to pursue £85 million-rated Wesley Fofana. And there is no shortage of admirers.

According to 90min, Inter and Roma want Chalobah. Meanwhile, Leeds, Everton, Nottingham Forest and Southampton have all spoken to his representatives about a potential deal.

It is noted that Chelsea still rate the youngster highly. And with that, they are not keen to consider permanent bids for him this time around.

Leeds made contact over Chalobah loan

Leeds are in a good position heading into the final days of the transfer window. They have taken seven points from their opening three games. And their performance against Chelsea hints that they are not going to be in anything like the same bother this term.

Their squad looks to be much stronger this time around when it comes to depth.

There are areas where fans would love to see new additions. Left-back and up front appear to be positions which provide slight concerns.

Obviously, Chalobah is not an answer for either. But he is someone who can play at centre-back, right-back, and holding midfield. And Tuchel has described him as ‘fantastic‘ in the past.

And a loan deal may not be a bad option. Whether it is the best move for Chalobah however, is debatable with Leeds’ current side flying right now.
