Chelsea board told that Class defender should be a Blues this summer!
ex-Chelsea defender Wayne Bridge believes it would be a mistake to sell Ben Chilwell this summer.
Over the past few weeks there has been some speculation that we are very much open to the idea of letting Chilwell depart the club, with a move to Manchester United interested in a potential deal for the star.
He has been plagued by injuries over the past few seasons and after impressing at the Euros – it is widely believed that marc Cucurella will be the number one left-back for Enzo Maresca next season.
But Despite Chilwell’s problems with form and fitness, ex-defender Wayne Bridge believes it would be a mistake to sell the England international.
‘I’d look to keep him, but he just has to stay fit,’ Bridge, who made 142 appearances for Chelsea, said of Chilwell in an interview with Betfred.
‘He’s missed a lot of games for CHELSEA but if he can stay fit, then I don’t know why you’d want to get rid of him, unless there’s something going on in the background that we don’t know about.
‘I just believe that Ben has a lot of ability and is capable of proving himself, as long as he stays fit.
‘He’s going to have to prove himself if the manager is uncertain about him, but a manager’s head can be turned by a player rather than them being stubborn enough to just force someone out.
‘If Ben does well, then he’s still got a chance of remaining at CHELSEA. There’s not an abundance of left-backs out there and Ben’s a great one.”
