After Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest, Shaun Wright-Phillips singled out Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah for special praise.
Mauricio Pochettino now expected to prioritize move to sign ‘spectacular’ £70m player
Chelsea and Nottingham Forest fought up an entertaining Premier League draw at Stamford Bridge, which helped the visitors avoid relegation this season.
On Saturday afternoon, Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi scored both of his team’s goals. Similarly, Blues forward Raheem Sterling scored twice for the visitors.
There are now only three games left for Frank Lampard to manage as Chelsea’s caretaker manager. In a week, his squad will visit league leaders Manchester City.
Former Chelsea midfielder Wright-Phillips praised Trevoh Chalobah after his performance against Nottingham Forest while working as a BBC pundit over the weekend.
Yesterday, the 23-year-old started and impressed at right-back.
“In the second half, I thought Chalobah was superb, running in behind and causing a lot of problems,” Wright-Phillips told Match of the Day.
Sterling’s two-goal performance was also mentioned by Wright-Phillips. “I thought Raheem, once he got rid of playing with his back to goal,” he said Match of the Day, “was a threat as well in the second half.”
It’ll be intriguing to see if Chalobah can emerge as a key player this season.
This season, the Englishman has made 31 first-team appearances in all competitions, demonstrating that he is a reliable choice in a variety of defensive positions.
We’re curious how Mauricio Pochettino feels about the club’s academy graduate.
