The Cobham academy star is set to fully graduate into the first-team this season after taking his chance under the Blues boss
Thomas Tuchel has met with Trevoh Chalobah to tell him that he is no longer available for loan and that he wants his future tied up at Chelsea.
Clubs like Lille, Valencia and Club Brugge have all expressed an interest in signing the 22-year-old defender on loan but are set to be knocked back.
Having had the meeting, the Blues chiefs now need to meet with his representatives to extend a contract that has less than two years left to run.
The west Londoners academy graduate has always been rated highly internally at Stamford Bridge but hasn’t had as much attention externally as others coming through the system.
Having spent two seasons on loan at Ipswich and Huddersfield in the Championship, Chalobah excelled on loan in Ligue 1 with Lorient.
Upon his return, he stood out in three consecutive pre-season matches against Arsenal, Tottenham and Bournemouth.
The defender was still set to move on loan for another season but his 120-minute performance against Villarreal followed by his goalscoring Premier League debut versus Crystal Palac have proven transformative behind the scenes.
