Chelsea will be listening to offers of their two longing serving academy graduates.

Chelsea academy have been unearthing special young talented players through their academy over the years. Some have been lucky to secure first team football at Chelsea, while other are forced to look for first team football elsewhere and continue their development.

Chelsea longest serving player Trevor Chalobah will leave Chelsea in January.

Trevor Chalobah was almost to leave Chelsea in the summer for Bayern Munich, but the deal broke off as Chelsea wanted a permanent transfer for a fee worth €45m while Bavarians wanted Chalobah on loan. Bayern Munich were not only the suitors in the summer as Nottingham Forest had already agreed a £25m deal with Chelsea to sign Trevor Chalobah on the deadline day, but Chalobah declined the transfer as he opted to stay at Chelsea and fight for his place in Mauricio Pochettino team.

Mauricio Pochettino have made it clear that Chalobah is not in his team longterm plans. The 24yrs old defender who signed a longterm contract extension with the Blues earlier in the Summer, is valued at £40m by Chelsea.

Trevor Chalobah linked with Bayern Munich in January window transfer.

Inter Milan and Ac Milan are interested in signing Chalobah in January,but considers Chelsea’s valuation for the English defender too high. Thomas Tuchel the manager who integrated Chalobah to Chelsea first team and gave him his senior debut is interested in working with the defender again at Bayern Munich.

Chelsea will cash in on Ian Maatsen in January, if he refuse to sign a new contract extension with Chelsea.

Ian Maatsen rejected a permanent move to Burnley in the summer from Chelsea, after both clubs had agreed a £30m transfer fee.

Mauricio Pochettino was really impressed by the Dutch during the preseason tour games in USA. Mauricio Pochettino deployed him in a more advanced role as he delivered.

Chelsea left Back Ian Maatsen in action.

Ian Maatsen is yet to extend his contract with Chelsea which expires in the summer, and Chelsea are reluctant to lose him for free hence Chelsea will be forced to sell him in January transfer window.
