Trevoh Chalobah is the subject of interest from multiple clubs and talks are already ongoing ahead of a move away from Chelsea.

The defender is open to a new challenge ahead of the new season, we are told - while new manager Mauricio Pochettino only wants to keep four centre-backs at the club. The 23-year-old is lower down on that list, therefore the club are looking to move him on.

Chalobah is happy to stay and fight for his place at Stamford Bridge but will sound out offers, with Inter Milan among the sides keen on the player.

It comes after our news that Chelsea want to sell Callum Hudson-Odoi permanently this summer, while Nottingham Forest are among the favourites to land him.

We are told that Steve Cooper is a huge fan of the attacker, having worked with him at the Under-17s World Cup. It is thought that if any deal is struck it will not be until later in the summer window.

Chelsea are looking for around £20million for the player and are reluctant to make his departure a loan.

Forest are wanting to bring in the winger to bolster their attack and play alongside Brennan Johnson. The Welsh star has been linked with a string of clubs but we are told that a deal for him would be hugely unlikely.

The player signed fresh terms with the Midlands club last year, as exclusively revealed by FootballTransfers, and the club have no intent on selling him this window.

We understand the same can be said for Morgan Gibbs-White. The midfielder signed just last year for what was a club-record transfer fee of £25 million with another potential £17 million in add-ons.

Forest have no intention to sell that England Under-21s player and his price tag would be close to treble digits.

Nottingham Forest fans - feeling is that Morgan Gibbs-White will get done now. As reported a couple of months back, this one would go to the wire. Player is eager to join, may push it through. No info on bid, etc, as of yet.
