Valencia enter race for Chalobah as Chelsea make space for another Kounde transfer bid

The Liga giants have been watching the English defender during the Blues' pre-season and are ready to offer him a chance on loan in Spain

Valencia have emerged as the frontrunners to sign Chelsea's Trevoh Chalobah on a season-long loan after he excelled in pre-season.

Like Thomas Tuchel, the Liga giants have been impressed with the youngster's season at Lorient in Ligue 1 last year along with his pre-season performances at Stamford Bridge.

Tuchel has told Chelsea not to sell the 22-year-old at any cost and that he will strongly consider promoting him from the loan group to his squad next season.
