Player now has his squad number stripped after reports Newcastle could make a bid to sign him
Newcastle could now be on the verge of signing an alternative to Marc Guehi as the transfer window starts to warm up for Eddie Howe.
Paul Mitchell has currently taken a step back to assess the situation after Newcastle saw four bids rejected for Guehi by Crystal Palace – with the Magpi💝es seemingly moving away from the England international.
Now – in what is an intriguing development – a potential alternative for Newcastle has seen his squad number taken away…
Trevoh Chalobah loses No.14 shirt to Joao Felix amid reports of potential Newcastle bid
Speaking on the London is Blue Podcast, respected journalist Ben Jacobs claimed that Newcastle could💫 make a bid to sign Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea after being frustrated in attempts to land Guehi, with the Blues aim🔴ing🧜 to receive £30m.
Now – as reported by Kaveh Solhekol of Sky Sports – the man from Sierra Leone has lost his No.14 shirt at Stamfo🃏rd Bridge to Joao Felix, who has just arrived in a £46.3m deal from Atletico Madrid.
That strongly suggests Enzo Maresca has no plans to reinstate Chalobah into the first-team at Chelsea, having already l𒅌eft the defender out of his squa🅷d for the pre-season tour of the United States.
The 25-year-old finished the 2023/24 campaign in fine fashion🌳, starting all of Chelsea’s final five Premier League outings as five co🌳nsecutive wins were secured.
Sadly – despite that – Chalo🎐bah is being forced out of west London like Conor Gallagher, as the sale of academy products is more valuable to Todd Boehly in terms of the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules.
Magpies should make offer
This is a no brainer of a m🌞ove as far as we’re concern🌸ed.
Chalobah is only a year older than Guehi at 25 – who is 24 – but would🔜 cost less than hꦬalf of the £65m Crystal Palace are currently demanding for the England international.

That would make sense if there was a £30m difference in quality between the two defenders, although both are quick across t♌he ground, calm in possession and boast vast amounts of Premier League experience, ꦇso there are many similarities.
Be sure to keep an eye o🍬n this situation, as Newcastle could make a bid for ♈Chalobah after he lost his No.14 shirt to Felix.
