Chelsea are desperate to sell Ben Chilwell and he can now be seen joining West Ham United. This is being suggest by Tottenham legend Paul Robinson who spoke highly about English fullback.
Chilwell has fallen down the pecking order at Chelsea. He has missed many games recently due to injuries. Infact, he was fully fit and played regularly in only his first season at West London. That was the season, when Chelsea won their second ever Champions League title.
After the 2020/21 season, Chilwell has been highly injury prone. This summer he was told by Enzo Maresca to find a new club. The Italian boss prefers Cucurella and Viega over him as Chilwell is not seen as perfect fit to his system.
But, Chilwell was unable to find a new club due to injuries and as a result had to stay at Chelsea. But, it has not changed the mind of Chelsea board as they still want to part ways with the fullback. As a result, Chilwell has only played 45 minutes this season.
Paul Robinson backs West Ham to sign Chelsea star
Tottenham legend Paul Robinson has backed Hammers to complete the signing of Ben Chilwell when speaking to Football Insider. He has also suggested that the move in January is very possible.
“Location wise, it works for him. On short-term basis, big deals, we do see some done in January. I’m not going to say you’re not going to see big deals done in January, but actually, you know, a deal like that is potentially a short-term solution for Ben Chilwell” – Paul Robinson about Chilwell’s future at West London.
Later, Robison added the he will not say that Chilwell is the solution to West Ham’s problems. But if we look at the current situation, it can be a good deal for all three parties. West Ham can get a player they can use, Chilwell can get regular minutes whereas Chelsea may get unwanted star away from club.
“Going forward with the delivery as well into the box they obviously lost James Ward-Prowse this season with his delivery, and Ben Chilwell brings that into the side” – Robinson backing Hammers to sign Chilwell.
It very likely seems like Chilwell can finally move awah from Chelsea even if its for half season. He is also being linked with Borussia Dortmund who are in search for left back.
