Trevoh Chalobah signs new Chelsea contract, joins FC Lorient on loan
Aug 18, 2020
London [UK], Aug 18 : Chelsea on Tuesday announced that Trevoh Chalobah has signed a new contract with the club and has made a move to FC Lorient on loan for the 2020/21 season.
"Trevoh Chalobah has signed a new Chelsea contract and today joined FC Lorient on loan for the 2020/21 season," Chelsea said in a statement.
Chalobah's new Chelsea contract runs until 2023.
The 21-year-old has had two previous loan spells in the Championship with Ipswich Town and, most recently, Huddersfield Town, whom he helped to retain their second-tier status last term.
He joined the Blues at the age of nine, following in the footsteps of his older brother Nathaniel, and demonstrated his versatility by playing at right-back, centre-back and in midfield at the different age groups.
After making his youth team debut at the age of 14, Chalobah went on to win the UEFA Youth League, back-to-back FA Youth Cups, and the European Championship with England's Under-19 team.
During 2017/18, he was named on the first-team bench on numerous occasions, including for the FA Cup final against Manchester United.
The England Under-21 international's switch to senior football has been solid and he has clocked up over 80 appearances in the past two campaigns at Portman Road and the John Smith's Stadium.
