Crystal Palace Explore Deadline-Day Move For Ben Chilwell
Reported interest would address defensive gaps at Selhurst Park under new manager Pierre Sage.
Overview
- talkSPORT reports that Crystal Palace are exploring a late transfer approach to re-sign England left-back Ben Chilwell, but the story is described as developing and unconfirmed.
- It is not clear from the report whether any approach would be a short-term loan or a permanent transfer for the 29-year-old.
- Chilwell left Chelsea last year and signed a two-year contract with BlueCo-owned Strasbourg, where he made 34 appearances and played a key role in their Conference League run.
- Palace have lost senior defenders this summer and have made new signings while losing their opening league games under Pierre Sage, a sequence the club may be trying to remedy with more Premier League experience.
- No club or player statements have been published yet and further verification from Palace, Strasbourg or additional outlets is needed before any deal can be confirmed.
