CHELSEA could use Trevoh Chalobah to try to sign Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace. 

Reports this week have claimed that Chelsea want to re-sign their former defender Guehi after long-term injuries to centre-backs Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile.

Guehi, 24, came through the Blues’ academy before making 59 appearances over two season on loan at Swansea City. 

Guehi was down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge and moved to Palace for £18million in 2021. 

Lewisham’s Guehi made his England debut in 2022 and has 22 England caps. He was a key player as Gareth Southgate’s side reached the final of Euro 2024 and was named in the Uefa team of the tournament. 

Guehi was the subject of multiple bids of up to £80million from Newcastle United in the summer. 

Now Fabrizio Romano has said that Chelsea could offer £25million-rated Chalobah – who is currently on loan at Selhurst Park – as part-exchange for Guehi. 

Reports say Palace will reject any bids for Guehi.
