TWTD understands the Blues are looking to sign Chelsea youngster Trevoh Chalobah on a season-long loan.

We understand the 18-year-old centre-half has already visited Playford Road to speak to Blues boss Paul Hurst but the clubs are still to agree the terms of the proposed switch.

Chalobah, the younger brother of Watford’s Nathaniel and an England U19s team-mate of Andre Dozzell, Tristan Nydam and Flynn Downes, is yet to make a senior appearance for Chelsea but was named among the subs for the FA Cup final in May.

Born in Freetown, Sierra Leone, Chalobah, who can also operate at right-back or in central midfield, has been capped by England at U16, U17 and U19 levels.

He joined Chelsea as an U9 and has won numerous honours at academy level, including the UEFA Youth League in 2015/16, the FA Youth Cup the same season and also in 2016/17 when he also picked up an U18 Premier League winner's medal.

StokeHigh97 added 19:36 - Jun 21 there is no loan market after the transfer window closes in August: I don't see Trevor as a Centre Defender, more a mobile version of Skuse as we don't have a natural replacement or competition for him: according to Peterborough owner last night we're trying to buy 1 of there players:

dirtydingusmagee added 21:20 - Jun 21 plenty of negativity about before even a ball has been kicked in the new era, I think Micks term has left some fans permanently scarred. Let's all take a few deep breaths, let the new manager get on with his job, no point in ranting or jumping for joy at speculative ''news''.

TonyHumesIpswich added 06:24 - Jun 22 More likely that we sign someone from a league 1 side (like Peterborough Utd). Hurst will know these players and be aware of whether or not they can step up. Jermaine Anderson (Posh) would be a good addition to our squad.

ScottCandage added 17:55 - Jun 22 True Blue, thanks for the video. Chalobah is definitely brave in the tackle but I fear he leaves his feet too much. But I would definitely like to see him at ITFC.

2_Goal added 22:38 - Jun 22 I've seen him play in the England set-up - he's an excellent player. With him in the middle and Emmanuel on the right that's a step up from last year.

2_Goal added 22:43 - Jun 22 About the new season in general, agree with others that we need 4 or 5 new players. But just as important, so looking forward to our existing players playing without fear, passing the ball, using their talents!

Fat_Boy_Tim added 10:41 - Jun 23 Generally when the line reads ‘TWTD understands' its going to happen. Don't know his source but I reckon he's coming to Town. Looks like good cover and good competition for places at the back.
