Chelsea
are set to offer Trevoh Chalobah a new contract after his impressive recent
displays.
The 22-year-old has two years left on his current deal and Chelsea will now
open contract talks with the defender, following discussions with head coach
Thomas Tuchel.
Chalobah played in the European Super Cup win against Villarreal, and
started and scored in the 3-0 win over Crystal Palace in the Premier League
on Saturday.
He has previously been on loan at Ipswich Town, Huddersfield Town and
Lorient but is now expected to stay at Stamford Bridge this season.

international, who can play at left-back or wing-back.
Meanwhile, AC Milan believe they are close to agreeing a deal to sign
Tiemoue Bakayoko after holding a meeting with his representatives in Milan
on Thursday.

spells with Milan, Monaco and Napoli.
