chalobah chelseaChelsea midfielder Nathanial Chalobah has joined Napoli on a season-long loan deal.

The 20 year-old joined the Blues in 2005 but has yet to register a competitive appearance.

The midfielder has now switched England for Italy as he embarks on an adventure abroad.

Born in Sierra Leone, Chalobah moved to England aged 7 and joined the Fulham academy in 2004.

After a year he joined Chelsea and impressed in loan moves to Watford and Nottingham Forest.

Further spells at Middlesbrough, Burnley and Reading were less fruitful but still beneficial.

Chalobah has made just over 100 appearances in England with four Premier League games.

He can play as a defender but is far more comfortable dictating play in the midfield.

Napoli haven’t set a buyout option meaning he will return to Chelsea next season.
