Chelsea: Enzo Maresca admits Tosin Adarabioyo and Axel Disasi could leave during January transfer window - Blues hit by shortage of defenders but Trevoh Chalobah’s return adds to competition for place

Chelsea centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo has struggled to make an impression for Enzo Maresca, but with Brighton seeking to sign the former Fulham star, he could give the club’s bank balance a huge boost.

Speculation over Tosin's future comes at a time when Chelsea have decided to recall fellow defender Trevoh Chalobah from his loan spell at Crystal Palace. It is claimed that Chalobah has been assured by Chelsea that he will start matches under Maresca during the second half of this season, potentially raising doubts over Tosin's future game time.
