Trevoh Chalobah’s 18-year association with Chelsea ended on Sunday after he secured a permanent move to Como. The 27-year-old made 151 appearances for the Blues and has since paid tribute to the club that moulded his footballing journey. He wrote on social media: “After 18 years, it’s time to say goodbye to Chelsea. I arrived as a nine-year-old with a dream, and I leave as a man who’s lived that dream in ways I never imagined.
“This journey tested me, lifted me, and strengthened me. To every teammate, coach, staff member, and supporter, thank you for shaping me. I gave everything I had, and I’m proud of the person this club helped me become.
“To the young players: the path won’t always be smooth. But stay ready, stay positive, and keep your faith. God’s timing is always right. Thank you all, truly, with love and gratitude.”
