Trevoh Chalobah\u2019s long association with Chelsea is to end after Como agreed a deal worth an initial \u00a325.7m. The England defender<\/a>\u2019s departure was agreed on the same day the club completed the signing of Jordan Henderson.<\/p>\n

Chalobah made 105 Premier League appearances for Chelsea and established himself as a first-team option during a number of turbulent periods for the club. The move will be seen as a coup for Como\u2019s head coach, Cesc F\u00e0bregas<\/a>, with the former Chelsea midfielder pushing to bring the centre-back to Italy.<\/p>\n

The clubs have settled on a package that includes \u00a35.1m in performance-related add-ons and a sell-on clause. For Chelsea, the departure of another homegrown academy product \u2013 Chalobah, now 27, has been at the club since he was eight \u2013 will generate pure profit, a key factor as they continue to balance the books<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On another busy day in west London the new manager, Xabi Alonso<\/a>, welcomed Henderson to the club after his departure from Brentford. The 36-year-old joined on a free transfer after playing 34 times for the Bees last season, a campaign that also earned him a place in England\u2019s World Cup squad.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the size of the club, the manager, who I have great admiration for, and the quality of the players, this was a huge opportunity I couldn\u2019t turn down,\u201d Henderson said. \u201cI was so impressed with how much the ownership \u200cwant Chelsea<\/a> to be successful and move in the right direction.\u201d<\/p>\n

With Jordan Henderson following Danny Welbeck to Chelsea, the club have shown a clear intent to sign more experienced players. Composite: Guardian Picture Desk<\/p>\n

Henderson came through Sunderland\u2019s academy before joining Liverpool in 2011. He spent 12 seasons at Anfield, playing 492 games in all competitions, and captained the team to Champions League victory in 2019<\/a> and the \u200cPremier League title in 2020.<\/a><\/p>\n

He left Liverpool for Al-Ettifaq<\/a> in the Saudi Pro League in 2023, but \u200bsix months later joined Ajax<\/a>. He moved on again last summer to join Brentford<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He is Chelsea\u2019s fourth English signing of the transfer window, after the record acquisition of Morgan Rogers<\/a> \u200bfrom Aston Villa, Danny Welbeck from Brighton<\/a> and the teenager Harrison Bettoni from Wigan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trevoh Chalobah\u2019s long association with Chelsea is to end after Como agreed a deal worth an initial \u00a325.7m.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":844981,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82],"class_list":["post-844980","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/844980","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=844980"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/844980\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/844981"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=844980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=844980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=844980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
