Chalobah Reacts to Mount's Man Utd Move

 

Chelsea defender Trevor Chalobah looks to have made his feelings clear on Mason Mount's move to Manchester United.

Mount is set to sign a five-year deal at Old Trafford, with an option of a further year after failing to reach an agreement over a new contract with the Blues.

It is thought he will earn more than triple his current wage at Stamford Bridge, which is reported to be worth £80,000-per-week.

However, the boyhood Chelsea fan will leave with a heavy heart, having been at the club since the age of six.

And Trevor Chalobah is among those he will leave behind, with the 23-year-old defender taking to social media to seemingly share his sadness.

After the Blues finally accepted a third offer from United for Mount on Thursday, Chalobah tweeted: "My boy" along with a crying emoji and a broken heart symbol.

My boy 😢💔

 The dispirited tone of his message is no surprise given the close relationship they have shared since childhood.

The pair spent around a decade in Chelsea's academy together, working their way up through the ranks shoulder to shoulder.
