Enzo Maresca has dropped a massive hint that Ben Chilwell could leave CHELSEA this transfer window.

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.

Now – amid all the speculation and rumours – Maresca has seemingly hinted that there is no longer a space in the side for Chilwell – Asked if he sees Chilwell as an out-and-out left-back or a player who could play slightly further up the pitch down the left, Maresca said: ‘Chilly is a left-back, for sure. I see him as I’ve always seen him like a left full-back.’

‘His situation is a bit delicate.

‘It’s delicate in terms of we are trying to find a solution for him in terms of position, we are trying to find the right position for him. He probably needs a bit of time.

‘We want players that can perform 100 per cent and for sure in these two or three weeks.

‘Malo [Gusto] and Reece [James] can both do the work required of them and both finish with more assists or more dangerous in the way they were being used in the past because in that position they are good enough to make last passes because their quality, they are both very good.’
