Leicester City is considering re-signing Ben Chilwell, who has been sidelined at Chelsea with just one appearance this season. The 28-year-old left-back, a former Leicester star, is reportedly open to a move to reignite his career. With Chelsea exploring replacements such as Lecce’s Patrick Dorgu, Chilwell’s departure, likely on loan, could be a key part of Leicester’s plans to bolster their squad under new manager Ruud van Nistelrooy as they battle relegation.

Key Points

  • Chelsea Exit: Chilwell has been frozen out at Stamford Bridge, with Maresca preferring other defensive options.
  • Leicester’s Interest: The Foxes are monitoring the situation and could bring back their former academy graduate on loan.
  • Van Nistelrooy’s Strategy: The Leicester boss is looking to strengthen defensively and sees Chilwell as an experienced option.
  • Potential Replacements: Chelsea is scouting Patrick Dorgu as a possible replacement for Chilwell.
