According to a report by The Mirror (via Metro), Chelsea are ready to sell fan-favorite Trevor Chalobah to fund a £70 million move for Marc Guehi. The Crystal Palace defender has impressed since he arrived in South London from the Blues in 2021 and has been tipped with a return to West London.
Guehi began his career with the Cray Wanderers in 2005 before joining the Blues in 2007. He came through their famed Cobham youth ranks before going out on loan to Swansea in 2020. The 24-year-old has impressed since securing regular football and is now a regular participant for the English national team, bagging 23 caps for the Three Lions.
Chelsea are looking to tempt Guehi's current club, Crystal Palace, to accept a deal reportedly valued at £50 million and Trevor Chalobah to re-sign Guehi just four years after he left the club for a reported €23.34 million fee. Chalobah spent the first half of the season in South London with The Eagles, where he formed an impressive defensive partnership with Maxence Lacroix and Guehi.

The versatile Cobham graduate had a good game to help his side secure victory on Thursday night in Poland.
In his post-match discussion with the press, the Italian tactician hailed Acheampong and applauded his desire to slot in where needed for the team, saying via FotMob:
"The one I fall in love with tonight is Josh Acheampong. He can be a fantastic player for this club, a good player can play in different positions, and he showed that. Since we started, I'm in love with him, but tonight he showed he can be a very good player for this club. He can be good in different positions. The best thing for Josh is that he's open – he wants to learn: 'Full-back? No problem, what do I have to do?'”
Chelsea are looking to be the first team to lift all three continental European trophies and are now four games away from winning the conference league. With six games left, they are sixth in the EPL, two points behind fourth-placed Newcastle.
