Sky Sports: Newcastle identify £25m Chelsea defender as possible Marc Guehi alternative

According to Sky Sports, Newcastle are considering a move for Trevoh Chalobah if a deal can’t be agreed for Crystal Palace star Marc Guehi.

They report that Aston Villa are also keen on the £25m-rated Chelsea centre-back, identifying him as a potential signing should Diego Carlos leave following interest from Fulham.

However, Sky Sports report that we’re also admirers of Chalobah, who is believed to be on our list of options after the club had a third bid worth £60m rejected for Guehi this week.

Chalobah, 25, is free to leave Chelsea after being excluded from their pre-season tour of the USA last month, suggesting he’s being forced out by new Blues boss Enzo Maresca.

He’d add some pace, versatility and another right-footed option to our back line and would be considerably cheaper than Guehi, but it may not go down if we move from one of the stars of Euro 2024 for a player who has been pushed down the pecking order at Chelsea.

#AstonVilla have #Chelsea centre-back Trevoh Chalobah on their list if they decide to look for a replacement for Diego Carlos. #CrystalPalace also like Chalobah if they lose one, as do #Newcastle if Guehi doesn’t happen: https://t.co/OzHTtF6aQx pic.twitter.com/J9vZz5Qu3j
