24-year-old Chelsea player can play a key part in this season if he stays at the club today

It looks as if the January transfer window is going to be one of the quietest in recent memory as far as Chelsea are concerned.

As things stand it looks as if they are not going to complete any signings to bolster Mauricio Pochettino’s squad for the remainder of the campaign.

The story of deadline day is revolving around players leaving the club, particularly on loan for the rest of the season.

There have been reports that a number of Premier League clubs are intrigued by the prospect of bringing in Armando Broja, with Fulham and Wolves leading the clubs interested in a deal.

It remains to be seen if either side meet the requested loan fee for the player to move in the final hours of the window.

One player who now does not look as if he is going to be on the move is Trevoh Chalobah. This is despite him not playing for the club this season.

Chalobah has role to play at Chelsea

He has been injured for the vast majority of the current campaign, although has been seen back in training in recent weeks.

Despite him being linked with a move away for two or three consecutive transfer windows now, if he is still here for the rest of the season there is certainly a role he can play.

The defence in recent weeks at Stamford Bridge has been underwhelming to say the least, with clean sheets becoming hard to come by.

Thiago Silva is also surely feeling the strain of playing near enough every game for the club despite approaching the age of 40.

The 24-year-old Englishman is surprisingly one of the most experienced centre-backs the club have right now, and this could see him play a more important role than many will have thought for the rest of the season.
