Brentford have joined West Brom in the race to sign Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah this summer, reports Express and Star.
Chalobah, 22, has been in talks with West Brom regarding a potential summer move to The Hawthorns.
The Baggies and Chalobah held talks last week but now Express and Star report that Valerien Ismael’s side face fresh competition from the Premier League to sign the Englishman.
Brentford are said to be keen on the Chelsea man, who also has interest from his previous loan club FC Lorient and from Germany too.
But Express and Star go on to report how West Brom are still ‘firmly in the race’ after holding ‘positive’ talks with Chalobah last week.
Thoughts?
Brentford would obviously be an exciting move for Chalobah but with West Brom there’d no doubt be more guarantee of first-team football.
The Bees after their promotion will likely bring in some more names before the start of the next season following the final of the Euros tournament and Chalobah would probably be a back-up name at the club.
Though at West Brom, Chalobah could be a regular feature in Ismael’s starting line-up and alongside summer arrival Alex Mowatt, Chalobah would have an experienced mentor to help him re-acclimatise to the Championship.
A good move all round for the Baggies and fans will be hoping to see this one go through.
