Chelsea have activated clause to recall Trevoh Chalobah from Crystal Palace with immediate effect.

This was disclosed by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano in a tweet on X on Wednesday.

Chalobah had to leave Chelsea to join Crystal Palace last summer on loan after he was not included in manager Enzo Maresca’s plan for this season.


However, both Chelsea and Maresca have now decided to bring the 25-year-old back to Stamford Bridge this January transfer window.

Chalobah was not included in Crystal Palace’s squad to face Leicester City tonight.

“Chelsea have activated clause to recall Trevoh Chalobah from Crystal Palace with immediate effect,” Romano tweeted.

“Decision made by Enzo Maresca and the club’s management after many injuries with some defenders also set to leave.

“Chalobah leaves immediately, as David_Ornstein reports.”

Chelsea are keen to bolster their defense with defender Wesley Fofana currently injured.

Former Arsenal and Barcelona striker, Thierry Henry, has hit out at critics of Kylian Mbappe, insisting that the Real Madrid star is not a robot.

Mbappe has come under serious scrutiny since he arrived at the Bernabeu from Paris Saint-Germain.

The forward had been expected to take La Liga by storm but so far, he has failed to show his very best form consistently.


The France captain has, however, scored 10 goals in 17 league fixtures for Los Blancos.

Mbappe has also had to get used to a different set-up in Madrid, playing in a more central role, rather than out wide, due to the presence of Vinicius Jr in Madrid’s starting XI.

Henry, speaking with RMC, feels Mbappe has been judged unfairly during his time in Spain.

“Human beings, from time to time, yes, they can be affected and that’s completely normal,” Henry said.

“And that, for me, is completely normal. At one point, everyone thought he was a robot.

“He’s not a robot, he’s a human being who has emotions like everyone else. And from time to time, he’s going to get angry and throw up his arms.”

Paris Saint-Germain forward, Randal Kolo Muani has turned down interest from two Premier League clubs, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur for Juventus.

Both Man United and Tottenham have expressed an interest in signing the 26-year-old this January transfer window.

However, according to RMC Sport, Kolo Muani has agreed to join Juventus on loan after the Italian Serie A club reached an agreement with PSG on Tuesday.


The France international failed to secure a regular role under manager Luis Enrique at PSG.

Kolo Muani joined the French Ligue 1 champions from Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023.

He started just two games in the Ligue 1 this season for Enrique’s side

But he will now join the Old Lady for the remainder of the season.

Juventus have no option to buy Kolo Muani in the summer of this year.

Kolo Muani is scheduled to undergo a medical with Juventus on Wednesday.
