Fabrizio Romano has reported that Crystal Palace are close to finalising a loan move for Chelsea’s out-of-favour left-back Ben Chilwell. The England international, who joined Chelsea for £50m from Leicester City, has struggled for game time under Enzo Maresca, making just one appearance this season. With first-team opportunities limited at Stamford Bridge, Chilwell is considering a move across London to Selhurst Park, where he would provide competition for Tyrick Mitchell. The move could help Palace strengthen their defensive depth as they push for a top-half finish.
- Crystal Palace and Chelsea are close to an agreement for Chilwell’s loan move.
- Chilwell has made just one appearance this season under Enzo Maresca.
- The England international will compete with Tyrick Mitchell at Palace.
- Chilwell has 169 Premier League appearances, with 12 goals and 18 assists.
- The final decision now rests with Chilwell, who must decide before the transfer deadline.
If completed, the move could revitalise Chilwell’s season and provide Palace with an experienced addition for their push up the table.
