  "summary": "BBC Sport Football reports that Como have reached an agreement worth over £30 million to sign Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah, a 27-year-old who is set to join the Italian club on a long-term contract. Chalobah, who has been with Chelsea since he was a child, will take on a leadership role under manager Cesc Fabregas, who has been targeting the England international for over six months. Chelsea will receive £25.7 million upfront, with an additional £5.1 million in potential add-ons following negotiations. The move is part of Chelsea's strategy to reduce the size of manager Xabi Alonso's squad, which currently includes nine senior centre-backs.",
