Chelsea defender Chalobah ready to leave

Out of favor defender Trevoh Chalobah is ready to leave Chelsea in the coming weeks.

The Premier League club are close to securing the signing of Monaco defender Axel Disasi.

With another centre back coming into the squad, Chalobah believes his first team opportunities are even more limited.

Per the Evening Standard, he wants to play regularly and is ready to leave permanently or on loan.

Thiago Silva, Levi Colwill and Benoit Badiashile are already ahead of him in the pecking order.

New boss Mauricio Pochettino is set to use a back four, which means Disasi's arrival will make Chalobah fifth choice for two spots.
