Lokomotiv Moscow Overview

Como are reportedly on the verge of completing a deal for Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah ahead of Crystal Palace and Inter. The ambitious Serie A side have moved quickly to secure the centre-back, offering him the chance to play under the guidance of Chelsea cult hero Cesc Fabregas.

Como president Mirwan Suwarso has outlined an audacious vision for the Serie A side, aiming to transform them into a major sports tourism destination. As the club prepare for a historic Champions League campaign, Suwarso is holding firm on player valuations and taking a highly rebellious stance against UEFA's financial rules, inviting fines to achieve his lofty goals.

Dele Alli remains lost in the footballing wilderness, with former Serie A star Des Walker telling GOAL why his fellow ex-England international found the going tough when entering “a last chance saloon” at Como. The one-time Tottenham superstar made just one substitute appearance for Cesc Fabregas’ side before being released back into the free agent pool.

Trevoh Chalobah has prioritised a move to Italy despite attracting interest from the Premier League. Inter have stepped up talks over personal terms, while Chelsea could also use the defender in negotiations with Crystal Palace as they pursue Maxence Lacroix this summer.
