Trevoh Chalobah has expressed his regret over the termination of his Chelsea career, revealing that he aimed to become a “legend” at Stamford Bridge. After Chelsea deemed the defender surplus to requirements, he transferred to Como for £30 million this summer.

In an interview with The Athletic, the 27-year-old reflected on his time at Chelsea, stating:

“The team didn’t achieve what we wanted to achieve last season, but I thought I had one of my best seasons, playing the most games and scoring a few goals.”

Chalobah, who joined Chelsea's academy at the age of eight, made over 150 appearances for the club, securing multiple honors including two Club World Cups, an FA Cup, and the Conference League.

Despite his successful tenure, he acknowledged that sometimes plans don’t go as envisioned:

“I wanted to be a legend there, but sometimes the way we plan things is not how things work out.”

Now with Como, managed by former Chelsea player Cesc Fabregas, Chalobah described the transition:

“The manager reached out to me over the summer and explained the project and where he saw me playing.”

Como's recent success, finishing fourth in Serie A last season and qualifying for the Champions League for the first time, contributed to his decision to move. Chalobah emphasized the importance of adapting in football, stating that experiencing different environments is beneficial for growth.

Como is set to face Manchester United on Wednesday, with the English side desperately seeking points after a six-game winless streak.
