Chelsea have activated a clause to recall Trevoh Chalobah from his loan spell at Crystal Palace.

Chalobah joined Palace on a season-long deal that included an option for Chelsea to bring him back at the midway point.

They have now triggered that mechanism and the 25-year-old defender will return to Stamford Bridge with immediate effect.

Chalobah’s impressive form — and availability to help a back line depleted by injury — means he is expected to play an important role under Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca in the second half of the campaign.

A good relationship between all parties helped facilitate the transfer originally and there is appreciation at Chelsea for Palace’s handling of the matter.

Chelsea are in negotiations with the Premier League to agree a financial settlement for secret payments related to transfers made during Roman Abramovich’s ownership.

The club are understood to be in talks over a financial settlement rather than a sporting sanction such as a points deduction, on the basis that the new owners discovered the payments during the May 2022 takeover process and reported them to the Premier League and Uefa.

The outcome of the negotiations is expected before the end of March, with the club confident there can be an agreement similar to the £8.6million financial settlement made with Uefa in Julv 2023.

🚨 EXCL: Brighton have expressed an interest in Tosin Adarabioyo.

Brighton are keen on trying to tempt Tosin to the south coast in a permanent deal that could provide Chelsea with an almost-immediate return on a relatively small investment.

No decision from Chelsea yet.
