Manchester United could sign Trevoh Chalobah this summer with Chelsea close to signing Tosin Adarabioyo on a free transfer.
The Red Devils are aiming to bolster their central defensive department with Raphael Varane set to leave when his contract expires on June 30.
Jonny Evans could also walk away on a free transfer next month while there is uncertainty over Harry Maguire’s future at the club.
The hierarchy would ideally want two central defensive signings and United may do business with Chelsea again.
The Blues need to balance their books before June 30, and the Times claim they need to generate over £100 million from player sales.
The club are currently on the cusp of signing Adarabioyo for free and his arrival could open the door for Chalobah’s switch to Old Trafford.
They currently value him at £25m. United are interested and should grab the opportunity to secure his signature.
Chalobah would be a quality cost-effective signing
The Englishman was sidelined with a thigh injury at the start of last season and had to wait until February this year for his first game of the campaign.
However, the 24-year-old was impressive for the Blues on the run-in. The club were unbeaten in his ten league starts, keeping two clean sheets.
Chalobah completed 52 passes per game with a 90 percent success rate. He won 65 percent of his ground duels with 3.8 clearances and 3.5 recoveries per outing.
The centre-back would be a cost-effective buy. He is entering the prime of his career and has plenty of room to develop.
Rio Ferdinand once called Chalobah ‘unbelievable‘ and he would be a good acquisition, considering he has already proved his credentials in the league.
