He joined the Blues at the age of nine, following in the footsteps of his older brother Nathaniel, and demonstrated his versatility by playing at right-back, centre-back and in midfield at the different age groups.

After making his youth team debut at the age of 14, Chalobah went on to win the UEFA Youth League, back-to-back FA Youth Cups, and the European Championship with England's Under-19 team.

During 2017/18, he was named on the first-team bench on numerous occasions, including for the FA Cup final against Manchester United.

The England Under-21 international's switch to senior football has been solid and he has clocked up over 80 appearances in the past two campaigns at Portman Road and the John Smith's Stadium. (ANI)
