Fulham are interested in signing Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah on loan this month, although they are not the only interested party, with Tottenham, Bayern Munich and Roma all tracking the centre-back.

The 24-year-old has not played all season due to a hamstring injury, but is expected to be fit and available again this month.
His chances of getting back into the Chelsea first team do not look great, though, with the likes of Axel Disasi, Thiago Silva and Benoit Badiashile ahead of him in the pecking order, as are Levi Colwill, who has been operating at left-back and the injured Wesley Fofana.
Chelsea are also looking to raise funds to balance the books after their incredible level of spending over the last 18 months, while they also want to boost their transfer budget to sign a striker.
Selling homegrown talent is the best way to help them with the Premier League’s financial regulations, so Chalobah is likely to be moving on either this month or in the summer.
The Daily Mail report that Fulham are keen to take the defender on loan, with Bayern Munich, Tottenham and Roma also keeping an eye on Chalobah.
Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino responded to claims earlier this season that he had frozen out Chalobah, insisting that he remained part of his plans.
‘Trevoh Chalobah is in my plans, no one else is going to make decisions for me,’ said Pochettino. ‘I have enough knowledge to be involved in a decision. Everyone in the squad is part of my plans.’
Fulham have also been credited with an interest in Chelsea striker Armando Broja, with Wolves keen on the Albania international as well.
The 22-year-old has scored just two goals in 26 Premier League appearances for Chelsea but the Blues have slapped a £50m price tag on him, which may well make a January move unlikely.
