However, the Englishman&#8217;s ideal is to leave the club permanently rather than another loan, and several Premier League clubs are monitoring his availability after learning of his desire to leave.<\/p>\n<p>Fulham remain keenly interested after their \u00a322m signing collapsed on summer deadline day, with Leeds United, Everton and Championship side Southampton also interested in the striker.<\/p>\n<p>The competition for George&#8217;s signature is already heating up, with George likely to step down in January.<\/p>\n<div class=\"display-card  article article-card small  no-badge  active-content                      \" data-include-community-rating=\"false\" id=\"chelsea-tipped-to-easily-sign-mainoo-amid-man-united-stance\" data-nosnippet=\"\">\n<picture><source media=\"(max-width: 480px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.footballfancastimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/chelsea-s-trevoh-chalobah-celebrates-scoring-their-first-goal-with-teammates.JPG?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=98&amp;dpr=2\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static0.footballfancastimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/chelsea-s-trevoh-chalobah-celebrates-scoring-their-first-goal-with-teammates.JPG?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=140&amp;h=98&amp;dpr=2\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"440\" height=\"364\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Chelsea's Trevo Chalovar celebrates his first goal with his teammates\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.footballfancastimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/chelsea-s-trevoh-chalobah-celebrates-scoring-their-first-goal-with-teammates.JPG?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=220&amp;h=182&amp;dpr=2\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.footballfancastimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/chelsea-s-trevoh-chalobah-celebrates-scoring-their-first-goal-with-teammates.JPG?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=220&amp;h=182&amp;dpr=2\"\/>\n        <\/picture>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\"><label>related<\/label><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"w-display-card-content regular article-block\">\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chelsea_expect_to_%E2%80%98easily_sign_%E2%80%98superstar_amid_clubs_%E2%80%98daunting_stance\"><\/span>\n<p>\t\t\tChelsea expect to &#8216;easily&#8217; sign &#8216;superstar&#8217; amid club&#8217;s &#8216;daunting&#8217; stance<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">The Blues are the ideal destination for him.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea are poised to attract interest from the English quartet as members of the squad set their sights on leaving in January, according to reports.
