Bundesliga heavyweights Borussia Dortmund might look to sign 27-year-old English full-back Ben Chilwell from Chelsea in the January transfer window.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Ben Chilwell is the subject of interest from Borussia Dortmund. The Bundesliga giants are keen on signing a left-back in the January transfer window. So, the 27-year-old Chelsea misfit has emerged as a target for the Black and Yellows.
Ben Chilwell and his Chelsea situation
Ben Chilwell has seen his career come to a grinding halt since Enzo Maresca took charge of Chelsea at the onset of the 2024/25 season. So, the Englishman has gone from being the vice-captain for the West London club to a peripheral figure in a few months.
Maresca immediately assigned Chilwell to the “bomb squad” after arriving as the new Chelsea manager a few months ago. However, a departure from Stamford Bridge did not see the light of day, even though Turkish clubs also showed interest in the 27-year-old misfit after the summer transfer window shut down in other countries.
The English international has managed only 45 minutes of game time in his only outing thus far this term. However, Chilwell’s stock in the market remains high, with several high-profile clubs across Europe setting their sights on him. The latest update has linked the Chelsea outcast with Borussia Dortmund.
Bundesliga move on the cards?
Borussia Dortmund’s interest in Ben Chilwell is understandable. The Bundesliga giants are scouring the market for a left-back, with Nuri Sahin keen on adding an alternative to Ramy Bensebaini to his squad. So, the Chelsea outcast has emerged as a viable target for Borussia Dortmund.
With Chelsea keen on cashing in on the English international in the January transfer window, the two parties will likely amicably part ways in the coming weeks. So, Borussia Dortmund might land the 27-year-old full-back in a bargain move this coming winter.
However, the Bundesliga giants are not alone in the race to sign the Englishman, with recent reports linking him with Juventus, Napoli, Manchester United, and West Ham United. So, it will be interesting to see where the Chelsea outcast lands in the January transfer window.
