Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah has joined Crystal Palace on a season-long loan deal.

The 25-year-old was given permission to leave the club after being left out of the club's pre-season tour of the United States.

Chalobah was also not selected in any of Enzo Maresca's squads for Chelsea's first four matches this season.

He made 17 appearances for the club last season under Mauricio Pochettino, having been handed his debut by Thomas Tuchel in 2021.

"I'm delighted to join an ambitious club like Crystal Palace," said Chalobah.

"I know some of the boys in the squad well and I'm looking forward to playing alongside them in front of the amazing support at Selhurst Park."

Chalobah was one of four Chelsea players to leave the club on season-long loan deals on deadline day.

Forward Raheem Sterling joined Arsenal, Serbian goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic moved to Strasbourg and Everton signed striker Armando Broja.
