Losing Trevoh Chalobah was something all Chelsea fans knew was coming this summer, but that doesn’t make it any less painful.
He’s been at the club since he was just a few years old, and his rise to the first team was a really special and enjoyable storyline of the last few years. There were few – if any – players whose successes we celebrated harder.
But he’s gone to Como now, and he’s just done his first interview since the move was confirmed.

“I’ve been [at Chelsea] all my life. It’s a club that I always have in my heart and I just want to give thanks to them also for giving me the opportunity,” Chalobah said in quotes picked up by Hayters.
“I’ve been there since I was young and yeah, it was definitely a hard decision. But I’m glad of the career that I had there and giving my all.”
“[I want to say] thank you to the fans. I really appreciate the love that you’ve shown me. It’s been an unbelievable journey, ups and downs, but keep the blue flag flying high.”
We can’t wait to see how he gets on in Serie A. Good luck, Trevoh!
