Leicester City are hoping to land their old boy Ben Chilwell during the January transfer window after Chelsea made it clear they were surplus to requirements.
West Ham’s Graham Potter is hoping for a Chilwell reunionbut it is also reported that it is The Blues are struggling to offload the left-back because of his predatory wages.
According to Capologyhis £200,000-a-week salary puts him just behind Reece James (£250,000) among the team’s highest earners, so it’s no wonder there haven’t been too many takers.
Ben Chilwell could return to Leicester City
Boot room note, however, that Chilwell’s old team Leicester City, who sold him to Chelsea back in 2020, are keeping an eye on the situation.
Things probably did not go according to plan under Ruud van Nistelrooy, s WhoScored with a note that the Foxes have lost five of their last six games in all competitions.
The club are currently second from bottom of the Premier League table and the question Chilwell probably needs to ask himself is whether he wants to be pushed straight into the relegation battle.
Enzo Maresca made a double Chelsea discovery!
Still, at least he would be on the field and playing regularly, giving the club the benefit of his wealth of experience.
It would certainly be a preferable situation to being stuck on the sidelines week after week.
Ben Chilwell has no future at Chelsea
Enzo Maresca’s decision to leave Chilwell out saw him play just 45 minutes in the Carabao Cup all season (transfer market), and for a player who is still only 28 years old, it is a crime.
With just over two weeks remaining in the transfer window, there is time to get a deal over the line, even if it is initially a loan with a view to a further purchase.
Ultimately, the decision will rest with the player, and it will come down to how convincing a case can be made by potential suitors.
