Newcastle United could soon make their first move to sign Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea.
The 23-year-old has been identified as a target by the Magpies, with Eddie Howe’s side recently registering their interest in the defender.
According to Football London, Chalobah is open to a move away from Stamford Bridge this summer. The report adds that Chelsea are happy to get rid – although he will not push for a transfer and is willing to stay put if a solution cannot be found.

The door is open for Newcastle to offer a solution, and Football London add that the Magpies are considering making a bid for the young defender.
Ideal signing for Newcastle
Chalobah fits the bill of what Newcastle are looking for. Howe wants a right-sided centre-back, and Chalobah is the right age for the ongoing Toon project.
A lot of our recruits over the past 12 months have been around 23-years-old, with Newcastle targeting exciting young talent that can grow alongside the club.

It has been claimed that Chalobah has been told he can leave Chelsea this summer, as Mauricio Pochettino begins to overhaul his new squad. He has an over-inflated team, with plenty of big names leaving the club.
Academy graduates Mason Mount and Ruben Loftus-Cheek have been moved on, and now the same could happen to Chalobah.

Chalobah has the potential to do just that, and a move to Tyneside would see him lined up to take Fabian Schar’s place in the starting XI in the future. He could also provide cover at right-back, with his versatility likely to appeal to Howe.
Team spirit is important at Newcastle, with players digging in to help the club rather than satisfy their own ego. In that respect, Chalobah could be a great fit. Frank Lampard previously called him ‘selfless‘, praising him for his attitude when asked to operate in different roles.
He could be an astute arrival at St James’ Park, so it will be interesting to see if the Magpies make an official move.
