The 3 clubs that want to sign Ben Chilwell in winter

The battle to secure the services of Ben Chilwell is intensifying in the winter market, with West Ham United, Juventus, and Napoli all in the race for the Chelsea full-back, who has fallen out of favor at his current club. Julen Lopetegui's team has shown a strong interest in the English defender and is ready to compete with the two Italian giants looking to strengthen their squads.

Chilwell, 27, has seen his role significantly diminish at Chelsea since Enzo Maresca's arrival. Despite being the club's vice-captain last season, he has had little playing time, accumulating only 45 minutes this season and not featuring in the Premier League or Europa Conference League. This situation has led Chelsea to explore options for his departure during the summer, albeit without success.

Fight for Chilwell

Both Juventus and Napoli are now willing to seize the opportunity presented by Chilwell. The Vecchia Signora is in urgent need of defensive reinforcement, while Napoli is eager to enhance its quality on the flanks. Both clubs are considering a deal that could be finalized at a reduced price, especially as the winter transfer window is rapidly approaching.

West Ham, on the other hand, is planning a different approach, considering a long-term loan of approximately 18 months for the English full-back. This strategy could appeal to Chelsea, who still has Chilwell under contract until the summer of 2027. The London club is in a favorable position, offering Chilwell the chance for a fresh start without an immediate relocation.
