Crazy Ball – Chelsea has a great opportunity to secure the services of Leicester center-back Ben Chilwell at the start of next week.
At present, the King Power Stadium seems to be beginning to understand that Chilwell wants to leave the Foxes this summer, after Frank Lampard’s team showed great interest in the 23-year-old.
The 42-year-old coach is known to have signed a new left-back after the disappointing performances of Marcos Alonso and Emerson last season. Chilwell has also been linked with a transfer to Stamford Bridge alongside Real Madrid players Sergio Reguilon and Nicolas Tagliafico from Ajax.
But, as stated TalkSPORT, Chilwell seems to have a big chance to join the Blues after a deal of 50 million Pounds Sterling or the equivalent of 971 billion Rupiah is almost agreed.
The initial fee of that size could add up over time, after a number of additions were added to Chilwell’s planned contract with Chelsea. If fulfilled, then Leicester can pocket more funds than the initial transfer value to the west London club.
Moreover, The Foxes are also not under pressure to release Chilwell, because the player is still under a long-term contract. They also try to stick with the tag they gave Chilwell, the same work they were doing at the time Harry Maguire joined Manchester United with a transfer of 80 million Pounds, or around 1.6 Trillion Rupiah last summer.
Chilwell himself has appeared in 123 matches played by Leicester since he graduated from the club’s academy in 2015. In addition, Chilwell also has 11 caps for the England national team.
The player whose full name is Benjamin James Chilwell has a great chance of becoming the third player Lampard has recruited this summer. Previously, Hakim Ziyech had joined from Ajax and Timo Werner who was willing to leave RB Leipzig to strengthen the Blues next season.
Chilwell’s arrival, which is expected to occur next week, is likely to be followed by the joining of Kai Havertz from Bayer Leverkusen who is also Lampard’s target player.
The young German midfielder had previously agreed a five-year personal deal with Chelsea. However, only a transfer fee his club demands will see Havertz move to Stamford Bridge before this summer’s transfer deadline in October.
