Chelsea face crucial Trevoh Chalobah transfer decision after 'bomb squad' bounce back
The January transfer window was, in terms of incomings at least, a quiet one for Chelsea by comparison to what had come before. And yet, heading into this final month of the season, increasingly it looks as if that is when one of their more pivotal bits of recent business was done.
The decision to recall Trevoh Chalobah from his loan spell at Crystal Palace is beginning to look a bit of a masterstroke, or rather might do were it not for the fact that it was also Chelsea’s call to pack him off to Selhurst Park in the first place.
Then, the Blues kept only one clean sheet in 13 league matches, in a 0-0 draw away to Everton just before Christmas. Saturday’s 1-0 win in the reverse fixture made it three in five matches since Fofana was injured and Chalobah stepped into the team this time around.
