Chelsea star Trevoh Chalobah drops cryptic tweet as Mason Mount Man Utd deal agreed

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.

United have agreed a deal worth £55m for the 24-year-old, including the a further £5m in potential add-ons.

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.

Mount is now expected to undergo a medical on Monday after returning from his summer break.

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.

Chalobah posts emotional farewell to Mount

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.

Indeed, Chalobah's tweet could also be in relation to Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who has agreed to leave Chelsea and join AC Milan, undergoing his medical on Thursday.

The Englishman has been at Chelsea since the age of eight, but is a few years older than Mount and Chalobah.

Meanwhile, Chalobah could follow in the pair's footsteps, with the Englishman linked with Milan's bitter rivals, Inter, according to the Daily Mail.
