'He has forced his way into our thinking' - Chelsea boss Tuchel says Chalobah could stay with Blues this season

The 22-year-old followed up a strong pre-season with a steady performance in the UEFA Super Cup against Villarreal on Wednesday

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel hinted that Trevoh Chalobah may have forced his way into the club's plans for this season after his strong display against Villarreal on Wednesday.

Chalobah started and played the full match as Chelsea defeated the Liga side in penalties in the UEFA Super Cup, impressing in the Blues' back line.

Though Chalobah has appeared to be set for a loan move to Valencia, Tuchel has said he now may be forced to reconsider allowing the 22-year-old to leave.
