Hurst said: “He’s at an age where people might question him as he’s a bit young.
“There will be demands put on him that he might not have encountered in the past but from speaking to him I know he’s hungry to succeed.
“I like players who maybe have a little bit of something to prove and in Trevor’s case, he’s got a lot to prove. There’s a lot of good publicity around him in terms of potential but he understands, and he wants to go out and deliver.”
Chalobah believes Championship side Ipswich offers him an opportunity to develop.
“I’m delighted to be here,” Trevor told the Club website.
“It’s my first loan and I’m really excited. It’s a great club and I’m ready for the season already.
“It’s important for me, being a young age, that I come here to learn and grow as a player as the year goes on.
