Chelsea Sources: Significant Chilwell update after Man United swoop

Ben Chilwell is in “no rush” to secure a move away from Chelsea despite his first-team exclusion, sources have told Football Insider.

The 27-year-old has been told he will not figure in Enzo Maresca’s plans this term.

Man United had been widely linked with a potential swoop for Chilwell but no such move materialised before the 30 August transfer deadline.

Windows in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Portugal and the Netherlands remain open, but it is believed the left-back is not currently keen on a Stamford Bridge exit after evaluating his current options.

He has been linked with a potential move to Fenerbahce.

Chilwell was handed a contract extension by Chelsea just last year (2023), keeping him at the club until June 2027.

He was a vice-captain under former boss Mauricio Pochettino but has been excluded by Maresca, who feels he is not suitable for his brand of football.

The defender managed just 21 appearances across all competitions last term with a range of injuries limiting his involvement to just 13 starts.

Chilwell has been capped 21 times by England and last played for his country against Belgium in March.

Raheem Sterling, Armando Broja and Trevoh Chalobah were among the Chelsea stars to leave the club in the summer window after being told they had no future.

Chilwell, Carney Chukwuemeka and David Datro Fofana remain on the books at Stamford Bridge despite not being in Maresca’s plans.
