West Ham United are reportedly interested in signing Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea this summer.

According to The Guardian, West Ham boss David Moyes has placed Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah on his summer transfer window short-list.

This comes after the Hammers were linked with a move to sign Conor Gallagher from Chelsea late last night.

Hammers boss David Moyes is on the hunt for a new centre-back this summer.

And with Chalobah able to play in the centre of defence and as a defensive midfielder, it’s no surprise why the Scot might want to sign him…

West Ham interested in signing Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea this summer

The Guardian reckon that the Hammers are eyeing up a move to sign the 24-year-old Blues ace this summer.

However, he may be forced to stay at Stamford Bridge after Wesley Fofana ruptured his ACL last week.

It remains to be seen as to whether Chelsea would be swayed if West Ham were to make an official offer for the versatile 24-year-old.

I think that if there is even the slightest chance of signing Chalobah, Moyes should do everything he can to bring him to the London Stadium.

Described as an ‘incredible’ defender by Football.London, the Chelsea star would be a very solid addition for the Hammers.

In 25 Premier League appearances for Chelsea last season, the centre-back averaged 1.2 tackles, one interception and 2.2 clearances per game (Who Scored).

He’s incredibly strong in the air and in the challenge, is very quick along the ground and possesses fantastic athleticism.

If West Ham do sign Trevoh Chalobah this summer, I think we’ll be in strong shape defensively.
