Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell has reportedly been linked with a move away from the West London club in recent months.
Ben Chilwell has struggled for regular gametime, and the defender needs to leave Chelsea to play more often. According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Borussia Dortmund are keen on the £50 million Chelsea misfit, and they are hoping to sign him this month. The German club have already made contact regarding a move.
It will be interesting to see if Chelsea are willing to sanction his departure.
The German outfit are unlikely to be able to pay a premium for him, and they will probably hope to sign him on a bargain. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Chilwell is in desperate need of game time and moving to Germany would be ideal for him. He has previously shown his quality in the Premier League, and there is no doubt that he is good enough for Dortmund. It will be interesting to see if the two clubs can negotiate a move this month.
The player will certainly be excited about the possibility of competing in the Bundesliga during the second half of the season. Regular football at the German club could help him get back to his best and regain his form and confidence.
Will Chelsea let him leave?
Meanwhile, Chelsea are currently fighting for a place in the Champions League next season. They have done reasonably well under their new manager. Enzo Maresca. However, their form has been erratic in recent weeks. It will be interesting to see if they are willing to let the player leave this month. Even though he is not an indispensable asset for them, he adds valuable depth to the squad. Chelsea will be hoping to do well across multiple competitions, and they might decide to keep him until the end of the season. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
Dortmund have had a disappointing season so far and they have recently parted ways with Nuri Sahin. They will look to bounce back strongly and a quality January signing will certainly help them improve.
