West Bromwich Albion are interested in signing Trevoh Chalobah on loan from Chelsea this summer, according to the Express and Star.

Slaven Bilic is hoping to build a team that will challenge for promotion next season, after taking charge at the Hawthorns last month and has identified Chalobah as a potential new signing.

The 19-year-old spent last season on loan at Ipswich Town in the Championship and scored two goals in 44 appearances for the Tractor Boys, although he was unable to save them from relegation.

The teenager, who is capable of playing at centre-back or in defensive midfield, is likely to be sent out on loan again next season to gain more experience.

Chalobah is yet to make a senior appearance for Chelsea, but has been a key player for their academy side over the past few seasons and has also represented England at youth level.

So, would Chalobah be a good signing for West Brom? We discuss...

Toby Wilding

"I could see this being a good signing for West Brom.

"Chalobah has experience at this level from his time at Ipswich last season, and he will be determined to prove his own ability at this level following the dismal campaign endured by the Tractor Boys.

"The 19-year-old clearly has plenty of potential - you don't get taken on by Chelsea for no reason - and West Brom could do to bring in some fresh options in midfield, particularly considering the continued uncertainty around the future of Rekeem Harper at the Hawthorns.

"Having seen the benefits of such a move to both player and club first hand last season, you feel Frank Lampard will be happy to let this deal take place, meaning it is one the Baggies should feel confident about completing."

George Brooks

"This could be a good signing for West Brom.

"Chalobah is a talented young football and he wouldn't be at a club like Chelsea unless they thought he had the potential to become a top player.

"The player will know that he probably isn't going to get a chance in the first team at Stamford Bridge next season, so another loan move would make sense for his development.

"He's already got a decent amount of experience in the Championship, having impressed while on loan at Ipswich last season.

"I think he's capable of making an impact for a team like West Brom and he could really benefit from playing for one of the top teams in the league.

"Chalobah can play a centre-back or in defensive midfield, so he would be a very useful option for Bilic to have in his squad.

"West Brom could do with some more depth in midfield, having just released James Morrison and seen Stefan Johansen return to Fulham, so Chalobah would be a welcome addition."

Alfie Burns 

"Given the success that the likes of Aston Villa and Derby County had with players like this last season, Chalobah should be a very good addition at the Hawthorns.

"His versatility makes him a useful player, and if he can cover the midfield and defence for Bilic, he will prove to be a good option over the course of a 46-game season.

"Whilst his experience at Ipswich won't have been a pleasant one, it was still something that will have taught him a lot and that kind of character building will be vital for the youngster's career.

"Overall, you'd like to think that this is a sign of what's to come under Bilic, with younger players coming in and replacing some of that 'old guard' that was carried back into the Championship."
