Ben Chilwell Next Club Odds: Borussia Dortmund linked with move for Chelsea left-back

With Chelsea potentially looking to move some of their stars on having reached a squad size in excess of 40, we look at where Ben Chilwell could be plying his trade after the closure of the transfer window later this week.

Ben Chilwell got off to an excellent start to life under Mauricio Pochettino last season, even being handed the armband on a couple of occasions before a hamstring injury kept him out of the side for three months.

He returned to the starting XI when fit, but then missed most of the rest of the campaign with a knee injury that ultimately cost him a place in the England squad for this summer's Euros.

It's one of the few positions where Chelsea don't have an embarrassment of riches, with Marc Cucurella the only other recognised left-back, although Levi Colwill is a capable deputy.

But after another outrageous transfer window, Chelsea are now looking to move some of their higher earners - including Raheem Sterling - on.

For a player who missed most of a season with two separate injuries, the Blues may struggle to convince clubs to take a gamble on Chilwell, but if the 27-year-old can stay fit, someone will acquire a very talented left-back.

Newcastle United were heavily mooted as a potential destination for the out of favour England international earlier in the window, but it's Manchester United who are now being heavily linked with a late summer swoop for the player.

A third left-back with injury issues might not be the shrewdest move, but with Diogo Dalot forced to play as an inverted left-back on the opening day against Fulham, Erik Ten Hag may opt to further strengthen that position, and it could well be that Chilwell fits the bill.

Borussia Dortmund are another alternative destination for Chilwell this summer, with BVB's number one left-back last season Ian Maatsen only on loan at the Westfalenstadion.
