Chelsea agree to loan defender to Crystal Palace

Chilwell to Palace on loan?

Chelsea have agreed a loan deal with Crystal Palace for defender Ben Chilwell, according to Fabrizio Romano.



The England international was deemed surplus to requirements by manager Enzo Maresca last summer, but he did not leave the Blues.

Chilwell has since made just one appearance and reports claim that he could depart on loan before Monday's transfer deadline.

The Blues recently recalled Trevoh Chalobah from his loan stint at Palace and are now prepared to send Chilwell in a similar deal.

Chelsea have found an agreement with Palace for the former Leicester City man, but the final decision will depend on Chilwell.

The 28-year-old turned down a loan move to Turkey last summer, but he could be tempted to move across London with Palace.

Aside from Chilwell, Carney Chukwuemeka is also expected to depart before the transfer window closes in the next 48 hours.

Marseille and Borussia Dortmund are interested in landing him on loan. The duo could be willing to include an option to buy.
