Bayern Munich are taking another step in their pursuit of Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea.

The defender is one who the Bavarian giants are eager to secure before the transfer window closes.

While Chalobah is not first choice with the Blues, his talent is admired in Germany.

Bayern manager Thomas Tuchel is a fan of the player, per The Mail, and Bayern's board are willing to secure his signature.

Tuchel knows Chalobah very well, having given him a debut at Chelsea a few years ago.

Chelsea are willing to sell, as they want to raise funds for incoming signings and to clear fringe players from the wage bill.
