£200k-a-week star tipped to seal January transfer move after Chelsea decision made!

Manchester United target Ben Chilwell  have been tipped to lead a mini-exodus from CHELSEA once the mid-season transfer window opens in a matter of days, according to BBC Sport.

He has been plagued by injuries over the past few seasons and after impressing at the Euros – Marc Cucurella is now the number one left-back for Enzo Maresca this season and for the immediate future

The Talksport website recently claimed that Manchester United may be interested in signing Chilwell this transfer window, But may not be interested in paying his £40 million asking price that has been placed by Chelsea.

However – the BBC website has claimed that Chilwell could be one of a number of players that Chelsea sell in order to help finance the books a little bit.

A loan is also a possibility for Cesare Casadei, with Feyenoord and Monza both named as suitors. Home-grown talent Harvey Vale is available for a permanent exit six months before his contract expires. Fellow youngster Alex Matos is the fifth who could go.

Enzo Maresca opened up at the end of the smmer and revealed that Chilwell was free to leave the club – Commenting on the left-back, Maresca said: ““Chilly [Chilwell] is with us but he has not been training for the last few days because he has been ill.

“The reason he did not play versus Inter [Milan] was because, with Chilly it is quite clear, even though I love the way he is, the problem is, he is struggling a bit to find the right position.

“This morning we had 22 players training and if you ask all of them they will say they want to play against City on Sunday.

“But that is impossible. When you train every day and do not get any minutes it is not good for them or for me.

“I need to make a decision and probably it is better to leave and go and get minutes. The transfer window is open so we’ll see what happens.”
