Chelsea's clever back-up option after making 'silly' transfer bid for Marc Guehi Chelsea may have their work cut out if they want to sign Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace, but they do have a back-up option on their mind.
The England international saw Palace turn down bids in the region of £70million from Newcastle in the summer, and still have hopes he will extend his stay in south London after entering the final 18 months of his contract.
Injury to Wesley Fofana has seen Enzo Maresca's side develop an interest in strengthening their backline, with the Blues without a win in their last four Premier League matches.
The central defender moved on loan to the club in the summer after being told he had no future with the Blues and was training away from Maresca's senior squad.
It has been suggested the Blues could also use Chalobah as a potential makeweight in any deal for Guehi.
