Chelsea outcast Ben Chilwell offered Premier League escape route days before deadline
Chelsea outcast Ben Chilwell could be offered a career lifeline with a move to another Premier League club. talkSPORT understands that Crystal Palace have an interest in signing Chilwell on a loan deal. Chilwell has been left out of Chelsea’s squads this seasonGetty At present, talks are ongoing between the player and the clubs, with the Blues having to pay a percentage of his wages should the loan happen. The 28-year-old left-back has not played a single Premier League game this season after being exiled from the squad by Enzo Maresca. Chilwell last appeared for Chelsea as a half-time substitute against Barrow in the Carabao Cup on September 24. Maresca recently admitted he feels ‘shame’ over the treatment of the Champions League winner at Stamford Bridge. “Because players want to play more so there’s probably chances for them to leave,” Maresca said. “But Ben has been top. I have to say that, he has been top. “Very professional, works hard. I feel shame because of that situation but in terms of behaviour, he has been very good.” His fellow Chelsea teammate Axel Disasi has also got the option of leaving the west London club, with Maresca also not keen on the French centre-back. talkSPORT also understands that Tottenham are interested in making a move for Disasi late in the transfer window. It means two Chelsea defenders could be set for Premier League switches before the deadline on Monday night. Dragusin went down with a knee injury in the Europa League clash with Elfsborg Tottenham have expressed an interest in Disasi after Fikayo Tomori decided to stay at AC Milan. Spurs are struggling to make late signings after Bayern Munich striker Mathys Tel turned them down – despite a £50million deal being agreed. Spurs chairman Daniel Levy had even travelled to Germany to hold talks with the young forward. Defensively, Ange Postecoglou’s side are desperate for reinforcements after another injury added to their woes. Following Thursday’s Europa League victory over Elfsborg, Radu Dragusin picked up an injury, joining Cristian Romero on the sidelines. Tottenham are yet to make an outfield signing in the window after goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky arrived early in the month. Disasi would provide some much-needed cover at the back for Tottenham, and is used to the demands of the Premier League. The France international has played 61 games for Chelsea, scoring five goals and registering two assists in that time.
