Chelsea ready to offload Ben Chilwell

A new dawn sets for Chelsea and it appears Left-Back Ben Chilwell may be left out of new manager, Enzo Maresca’s plans if the reports are to be believed.

The Blues are reportedly prepared to part ways with the defender this summer as doubts emerge over his fit in manager Enzo Maresca’s tactical vision. According to The Athletic, Chelsea are looking to cash in on the England international during this summer’s transfer window.

The English defender made it to the West London side after a move from Leicester City after the Covid-19 season of 2019/20 campaign where the Foxes narrowly exited the Champions League spot despite having a stellar campaign under Brendan Rodgers.

Ben Chilwell played a very influential role for the Foxes that season, earning him a move to Chelsea, where the defender was utilized in a variety of positions under multiple managers; such as on the wing, in midfield or in defence.

Despite Chilwell’s undeniable talent, his high wages and hefty price tag pose significant challenges for potential suitors. This move follows the recent departure of defender Malang Sarr, as the club continues to overhaul their squad.

After a sixth-place finish last season, Chelsea are undergoing a squad refresh under Maresca, aiming to realign their roster to suit the new manager’s playing style.
