This is the second time in a matter of weeks that a Chelsea academy player has been jettisoned from the first-team squad.

Incidentally, Crystal Palace and Aston Villa are reportedly keen on signing Chalobah – who was left out of Chelsea's pre-season tour to the United States earlier this summer.

Chalobah, who turned down the chance to join Nottingham Forest last year, made 17 appearances for the Blues last term and finished the campaign as a regular under former boss Mauricio Pochettino. This looks to be the end of 17 years for the player at Chelsea.
