Borussia Dortmund are emerging as favourites to land Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah.

BILD says Bayern Munich had been keen, but are now pulling back ahead of the January market.

Bayern bosses have decided against a winter transfer of the 24-year-old. The Munich giants are looking for a defender who can help the team from January and Chalobah's injury problems rule him out.

Due to thigh problems, the defender hasn't appeared on the pitch once for Chelsea this season. It's suggested he won't be seen until February.

However, a move to the Bundesliga is not yet off the table. Borussia Dortmund would like to take Chalobah on-loan in the winter, including a purchase option.
