Trevoh Chalobah: Crystal Palace loan was an opportunity, not a negative | OneFootball

The England international could be on the move again this summer

He went on to play 13 Premier League matches upon his return, helping to confirm the club’s return to the Champions League and earning a first England call-up.

“I didn't see it as a negative or a bad thing,” he explained. “I just took it in my stride as a positive, got my head down, and focused on what I could do, wherever I went to.

“It’s part of football, it’s part of life. Sometimes you're gonna have things out of your control.”

He continued, saying he did not feel he had a point to prove on his return to Stamford Bridge.

"It wasn't necessarily a point to prove because I've been at Chelsea the last three years and played in the Champions League and Premier League.

"For me it was about getting games and showing my quality.

"It was important for me to show what I can do in every game and every training session.

“Coming back, knowing the team and the manager, I slotted in easily and wanted to show the level I can get to."

Reports claim Chelsea could look to sign another defender this summer, meaning Chalobah be shown the exit door for a second consecutive summer. Napoli are said to be interested in his services, but he is keeping focus on this England camp and Chelsea’s summer Club World Cup campaign.

"I've still got three years left [on my contract] so I'm just focused on Chelsea at the moment and whatever happens happens.

"I just focus on the now and leave all the noise surrounding me or my future. I'm looking forward to the Club World Cup.”
