Chelsea outcast Ben Chilwell ‘offered shock Premier League transfer lifeline’ to end Stamford Bridge hell
BEN CHILWELL has been offered a surprise escape path from his Chelsea hell, reports suggest. Chilwell has been frozen out of the Blues’ playing squad by manager Enzo Maresca, playing in just one League Cup game this season, after being placed in their so-called “bomb squad”.

According to talkSPORT, Palace are keen on signing the 28-year-old on a loan transfer deal. Talks have been ongoing between the player and the clubs. Chelsea would need to pay a portion of his £190,000-a-week wages for the move to happen. A move to South London would appear to suit Chilwell and Palace alike. Chilwell played his best football throughout his career when playing as a wing-back for Chelsea, which saw him become a regular in England squads and win the Champions League. Oliver Glasner deploys a similar system at Selhurst Park, and the former Leicester star should prove himself a valuable asset as Palace aim to push themselves into the top half of the table. Maresca has admitted he feels “shame” over the treatment of Chilwell this season. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS Speaking on Chilwell’s future, he said: “Because players want to play more so there’s probably chances for them to leave. “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.” Chilwell was originally signed from Leicester for around £45million in 2020. He has 107 appearances for the club since then amid a raft of injury issues. Axel Disasi could follow Chilwell out of the door before Monday’s deadline, with talkSPORT also reporting he is not fancied by Maresca.
