The fight to ensure services Ben Chilwell intensifies in the winter market, with the West Ham United, Juventus y Napoli in the race for the Chelsea full-back, who has fallen out of favor at his current club. The team led by Julen Lopetegui has shown firm interest in the English defender, and is prepared to compete with the two Italian giants seeking to strengthen their squad.
Chilwell, 27, has seen his role at Chelsea diminish dramatically since the arrival of Enzo Maresca. Despite having been vice-captain of the club last season, he has had little participation in the team, accumulating only 45 minutes in the current campaign and without appearing in the Premier League or the Europa Conference League. This situation has led Chelsea to explore options for his departure during the summer, although without success.
Fight over Chilwell
Now, both Juventus and Napoli are keen to take advantage of the opportunity Chilwell presents. La Vecchia Signora is looking for urgent defensive reinforcement, while the Neapolitan team wants to improve its quality on the wings. Both clubs are considering a deal that could be done at a reduced price, especially with the winter transfer window quickly approaching.
West Ham, for their part, are planning a different approach, considering a long-term loan of approximately 18 months for the English full-back. This strategy could be attractive to Chelsea, who still have Chilwell until the summer of 2027. The London club is in a favorable position, offering Chilwell the possibility of a fresh start without the need for an immediate relocation.
