“Leave Chelsea before it’s too late” — Willian tells Ben Chilwell

Former Chelsea star Willian Borges has delivered a stark warning to Ben Chilwell, advising the £50 million defender to leave Stamford Bridge before it’s too late.

In a surprising twist, Willian believes that Chilwell has no future under new Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, as Marc Cucurella is set to take the spotlight.

Willian’s comments come after Chilwell’s recent struggles with form and injuries, which have hindered his impact since joining the Blues from Leicester City. In contrast, Cucurella, who had a challenging start at Chelsea, finished the season strong and dazzled at Euro 2024, becoming one of Spain’s standout performers.

“He’s not going to play,” Willian bluntly stated, dismissing any chances of Chilwell securing a starting spot under Maresca. He further emphasized that Cucurella’s impressive end to the season and Euro heroics have solidified his place in Chelsea’s lineup, leaving Chilwell on the sidelines.

For Chilwell, who has made over 100 appearances for Chelsea since his £45 million move in 2020, Willian’s advice is clear: cut your losses and seek a new challenge elsewhere. “Picking up his dough and waiting for a move” might be Chilwell’s only option if he stays, but a departure could reignite his career before it stalls at Stamford Bridge.
