Former Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah has opened up on his decision to swap Stamford Bridge for Serie A, revealing that Cesc Fabregas was the driving force behind his move to Como. The defender ended a 20-year association with Chelsea this summer to join the Italian side's burgeoning project over Serie A champions Inter.
Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola took plenty of positive lessons from his side's 2-0 friendly victory over Como 1907 at Anfield. First-half goals from Cody Gakpo and debutant Jeremy Jacquet ensured the Reds finished their pre-season schedule on a high ahead of the Premier League opener.
Como head coach Cesc Fabregas is looking to further exploit his connections at Stamford Bridge by launching a move for another Chelsea star. Having already secured the signing of Trevoh Chalobah from his former club, the Spanish icon has now set his sights on out-of-favour forward Liam Delap.
Liverpool's pre-season preparations took a gruesome turn on Sunday when their behind-closed-doors friendly match against Italian side Como was marred by a horrific injury. Alberto Dossena suffered a severe dislocated finger during the goalless draw, prompting the club's official broadcast channel, LFCTV, to issue an immediate on-air apology to their viewers.
Como have reportedly turned their attention to Chelsea striker Liam Delap after negotiations for Moise Kean hit a roadblock. The ambitious Italian club are actively searching for attacking reinforcements to strengthen their squad ahead of the new campaign.
