Transfer roundup: Chelsea sell Trevoh Chalobah and sign Jordan Henderson

• Chalobah to join Cesc Fàbregas at Como for £27.5m

• Henderson adds experience to Xabi Alonso’s squad

Trevoh Chalobah’s long association with Chelsea is to end after Como agreed a deal worth an initial £25.7m. The England World Cup defender’s departure was agreed on the same day the club completed the signing of Jordan Henderson.

Chalobah made 105 Premier League appearances for Chelsea and established himself as a first-team option during a number of turbulent periods for the club. The move will be seen as a coup for Como’s head coach, Cesc Fàbregas, with the former Chelsea midfielder pushing to bring the centre-back to Italy.

He divided opinion but made the most of a small budget – his successor must work with youngsters not big signings

“If we want to compete at this later stage, we’ve seen what we’ve got to do, as a club. It’s our choice now, isn’t it? We have to look at what we seriously want to achieve … It takes, sometimes, a punch in the face to wake up.”

Those were the words of the Manchester United head coach Marc Skinner after his side went out of the Women’s Champions League with elimination by Bayern Munich in April. Just over four months later, the bruise from that punch has faded, but so, it would seem, have the club’s ambitions to compete in the transfer market, and Skinner has decided not to get into the ring for another round.

Haugset pulled clear of the peloton with 85 kilometers remaining to claim the win. During the stage, Puck Pieterse took 10 points at the Col de la Faucille, finishing ahead of Nikola Noskova. Meanwhile, Belgian rider Dina Boels has abandoned the race after crossing the finish line inside the time limit yesterday.

The Seattle Mariners have reportedly traded for Baltimore Orioles outfielder Taylor Ward, per ESPN. This comes on the heels of starting right fielder Luke Raley landing on the IL with a left forearm strain. The Angels get back three minor leaguers for Ward, per MLB Pipeline: Brock Moore, Alex Hoppe and Harrison Kreiling. Ward is leading the American League in walks with 87, and while he hasn't had his usual power with just seven homers – Ward batted a career-high 36 in 2025, after 23, 17 in just 97 games and 25 in the three prior seasons – his .383 on-base percentage has still helped him be an above-average hitter in the Orioles' outfield. Adding Ward keeps the Mariners from having to play Victor Robles in right field in Raley's absence – Robles is batting just .241/.288/.267 in 51 games and 126 plate appearances, and has been a below-replacement-level player for Seattle in 2026. Baltimore acquired Ward this past offseason for starting pitcher Grayson Rodriguez, for his final season before free agency. The 32-year-old left fielder is a rental for the Mariners and a necessary upgrade: Seattle is 55-58 but just two games out of a wild-card spot and three behind the AL West-leading Astros, and Raley's absence opened up a significant hole in the lineup and outfield. The Orioles are just 2.5 games out of a wild-card spot themselves, but have moved Ward for prospects signaling a potential desire to step back from that race – though, over the weekend general manager Mike Elias indicated the O's would buy and sell, per MLB. Moore is a 26-year-old reliever missing bats in Double-A. Alex Hoppe, 27, has thrown 28 innings in the majors in 2026, splitting time between the bigs and Triple-A. Kreiling is a 24-year-old right-hander, but he wasn't drafted until 2024 when he was already 22: he has thrown just 10 ⅔ innings as a professional, as he underwent Tommy John surgery in 2025 and missed the entire season.
