The 27-year-old defender has found himself out of favor since Enzo Maresca took charge earlier this year. Marc Cucurella is now Chelsea’s preferred left-back, with new signing Renato Veiga serving as his backup.
The Milton Keynes-born player, who joined Leicester City’s youth academy at the age of 12, made a significant move to Chelsea in 2020 for a £50 million transfer fee. Despite leaving the King Power Stadium, there remains hope that Leicester might bring him back four years later.
Former Nottingham Forest manager Steve Cooper is eager to strengthen his defensive lineup as he prepares for a challenging second half of the season. Cooper is interested in a loan deal for the Chelsea full-back, and his chances have improved as the player is reportedly open to a move due to his limited playing time.
Since joining Chelsea, Chilwell, who earns £200,000 per week according to Spotrac, has made 107 appearances across all competitions, scoring nine goals and providing 12 assists. His experience and attacking contributions make him a valuable option for any club seeking defensive reinforcement.
