One deal that can come to fruition is that of Chelsea player Trevor Chalobah. The 24-year-old was close to joining Bayer Munich but the deal collapsed at the last moment. He could end up being a Spurs player at the end of the day. However, the involvement of Nottingham Forest and their permanent deal offer could complicate the situation for Ange Postecoglou’s side.
