‘Agent Chalobah’: Some fans think Chelsea defender is trying to help Blues sign new player
Recent social media activity on the part of Trevoh Chalobah has got some Chelsea fans talking about a potential transfer.
Chelsea linked with Jules Kounde
For those who do not know, Chelsea have been linked with a move for Sevilla stopper Jules Kounde for some time now.
The links to the Frenchman emerged back in July, which is also when personal terms were thought to have been agreed:
EXCL. Jules Koundé deal update: Chelsea are in advanced talks with Sevilla and Kurt Zouma could be included in the negotiation. Possible swap deal to go through in the next hours/days with Zouma + money for Koundé to Chelsea. 🔵 #CFC
Personal terms agreed for Koundé until 2026.

However, no deal would be forthcoming during the summer, with reports late in August seeming to suggest Sevilla wanted more than Chelsea were willing to pay.
Agent Chalobah?
Now though, some Chelsea fans are now still seemingly of the belief that a deal is still possible.
With Thiago Silva 37 and several other central defenders such as Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen out of contract at Stamford Bridge in the summer, Chelsea targeting some fresh legs at centre-back does make sense.
And now, after Chalobah commented on an Instagram post of Kounde’s – despite the pair never playing together before and having no known friendship – some Chelsea fans believe that Chalobah is trying to help Chelsea sign the defender, with some taking to social media to label Chalobah ‘Agent Chalobah’:
