Trevor Chalobah signs a new four-and-a-half year deal with Chelsea football club. The academy graduate has impressed in the first-team despite only making his debut at the start of the season.

The Sierra Leonean born joined Chelsea at the age of eight. He signed his first professional contract with the club in June 2016. Trevor has impressed the new Chelsea Boss Thomas Tuchel, since the arrival of the Manager. The new long-term contract will retain the defensive midfielder until 2026.

Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia added: ‘To see Trevoh joining so many of his fellow Academy graduates in the men’s first team is something we are exceptionally proud of as a Club. When he scored in the first game of the Premier League season, it was an emotional moment for everyone involved in his progress to this point.

‘His performances in the early months of the season as well as his attitude and professionalism have impressed us all and we are very pleased to be able to reward Trevoh’s progress with this new long-term contract.’

 

Prior to his breakthrough, Chalobah has spent three years cutting his teeth out on loan, in the Championship with Ipswich Town and Huddersfield Town, as well as abroad in Ligue 1 last season with Lorient.

He has split playing time between central defence and midfield, playing over 100 times and his performances in the early months of the season as well as his attitude and professionalism have impressed us all and we are very pleased to be able to reward Trevoh’s progress with this new long-term contract.’

Chalobah is still under the radar of Leone star head Coach John Kiester who wants the defensive Midfielder to serve as a boost to his squad for the Upcoming African Cup Of Nations In Cameron.
