£50M star drops hint he is heading for Chelsea exit in January

Ben Chilwell appears to have dropped a hint on his future at CHELSEA , as the defender looks increasingly likely to leave the Blues when the transfer window opens up in just a few months time.

The 27-year-old defender has been heavily linked with an exit from Stamford Bridge for a while now after falling out of favour under Enzo Maresca, and It appears that plans to sell Chilwell could already be in the works.

On Wednesday, the Englishman broke a two-month silence on his Instagram feed, showcasing pictures with some family, friends and also colleagues at Cobham training ground.

In the comment section, a user, who was tagged playing paddle in one of Chilwell’s pictures, left an intriguing message under the post. @rampa_keinemusik wrote: “Exit strategy loading…”

Reporter Iomie Stanley has recently come out and claimed that the Blues will look to get a deal done for the defender in the January transfer window- He said: ‘The 27-year-old left-back, once a key figure in Chelsea’s defense, may be deemed surplus to requirements under the potential leadership of boss Enzo Maresca.

‘Chelsea have shown a willingness to offload players for the right price as part of their squad overhaul under Todd Boehly. A sale of Chilwell in the January window could provide an opportunity for the club to recoup funds and reinvest in other areas of the squad.

‘Several Premier League clubs, as well as teams across Europe, could be interested in Chilwell, who remains a high-quality full-back when fully fit.

‘With Chilwell’s future at CHELSEA now uncertain, the January transfer window may be a pivotal moment in his career. it wouldn’t be surprising to see Chilwell leave Stamford Bridge in search of regular game time and a fresh start elsewhere.’
